Jellyfish 2

Looking down the shore of the river, there were sea nettles by the hundreds mixed in with moon jellies. I wonder what was the cause of the die off. A bit chilling.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

[Faye Turner]

Interesting and sad too

[Granagringa]

It is a bit chilling...but such an interesting way to compose so that my eye keeps going in the circle.

[Corinne C]

I'd have to resist the urge to grab one of them.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

That is concerning.

[sheri]

We used to see this occasionally when the tide/currents brought them all in.

[Taffy]

This has such a sci-fi feeling to it. Very unnerving.

[Esther Rosenberg]

That is some shot, like the colors but kinda weird to see so many dead jelly fish.

[Diana]

Maybe a ship did some illegal dumping in the ocean, very didturbing.

[Rick]

Wow, sure strange to see that many just piling up on the beach.

[Babs]

Oh so scary.

[PhylM-S]

Reminds me of when the wind blows all the little blue fins ashore but this is exceptional. I’ve got to believe there was a red tide. Be well!

[Monica]

There are lots! I didn't know there were jellyfish in rivers...

@monicac tidal river

[Peter Dulis]

sad to see them washed up like this - Jellyfish are often present on or near the shore after heavy rain, windy weather, or warmer temperatures (not exactly sure where you live Jane?)

[Margaret Brown]

Loads! Must be so sad to see so many like this, nice capture though

[carol white]

A sorry sight to see

[Jane Pittenger]

@pdulis OR coast...been windy and high tides but we’ve lived here since 1979 and never seen anything like it before

[haskar]

A sad sight.
