Normally I go in the water to chat with the other moms whilst waiting for our kids to do their swim. But on Wednesday there were quite a few jellyfish and therefore brought my camera to go for a walk in stead. Good thing, because the moms just dropped the kids off today.
Anyway, at the spot the crows like, the water moves only a little and today I spotted a dragonfly. I was surprised that I caught him in flight and had a reflection too...
Oh my! He’s quite amazing and so is his reflection! I kept MSG in the car when we went to the beach years ago. It took the sting out of jellyfish bites, we only had to use it one time. 😊
@louannwarren@onewing As a child I learnt to be very cautious with jellyfishes, but the ones we have here, close to the beach in Oman, are quite harmless. And luckily most of the time they are not there.
The ones we had on Wednesday are called ‘hydromedusa’ and belong to a class that are common and very small. Our swimmers were quite itchy when they left the water, but after a shower all was good.
Then we sometimes have another type which is dark brown/purple rubbery thing with very short arms (Crambionella orsini). Also harmless.
Other than their names I could not find a lot of information on the internet.
Wow, The reflection is almost sharper than the dragonfly. Big fav. We haven't had jellyfish these last three years around our swimming zones. I think this is could be the result of several turtles coming to our sandy beaches to give birth to their offsprings and the turtles are the only creatures I know of that eat jellyfish.

You wouldn't get me in the water if jelly fish were around.
