“Poetry in motion” comes to mind when I see today’s prompt. I’ll probably have the song stuck in my head all day. 🙂 But for a photo of motion, I offer you this one taken at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo last year in a visit that yielded a plethora of photos of a wonderful day. I’ve been waiting to use this shot and today’s the day! The photo’s unedited except for the color at the edge.
Have a wonder-filled weekend!
This, that and the other thing 
it’s amazing how wonderful things we have on our earth…
It truly is!

lovely, Janet. i love jellyfish. 🙂
K.Z., I was taking shots as fast as my phone would to! They were so beautiful.
fabulous photo!! I love jellyfish too(except the one that stung me!)
I understand that. This one was in a tank or whatever at the zoo, so I wasn’t worried. 🙂
janet
Those Jellyfish exhibits are like looking at a living lava lamp. Nice shot, Janet. Ω
Ha, Allan. They are a bit, although thinking of it that way makes them seem a bit dated. 🙂 Glad you liked the photo, though.
I have some like that from a Monterrey Bay Aquarium visit. It was so peaceful just to stand and watch them. Ω
They were so beautiful and graceful. The place was crowded or I would have stood there much longer.
Beautiful!
Thank you, Adhika, and thanks very much for not only visiting but for commenting.
janet
No worry Janet. I haven’t been to an aquarium for a while. I probably should. I kind of wonder how long exposure would look like on jellyfish!
I bet you’d get a beautiful blur of movement. You’ll have to give it a try.
That’s awesome … what a shot!!! 🙂
Thanks so much, Rebekah. I was thrilled when I saw how it turned out. I used the blast on my iPhone, holding down the “button” so it takes a stream of shots. I got some other good ones of multiple jelllyfish. Perhaps for another challenge. 🙂
janet
Beautiful colorful picture. That would be a treat to see the rest of the photos. I hope there will be a chance this summer.
I’ll try to do that, Julia. Thanks.
Beautifully captured shot!
Thanks. A relative of yours perhaps? 🙂
janet
Hahaha! Perhaps :p
Janet, just one word; WoOoOoOoow! Absolutely amazing image. And the vibrant colors … somebody has said that there is more colors under water and on earth.
Thanks for that one word, Viveka. It’s much appreciated. The color was magnificent.

Jellyfish are surreal. When I think of alien beings- which is not very often- I think more along these lines. You’ve done a great job capturing this one!
Thanks, Emilio. I agree they’re surreal, not really like anything else and don’t really seem like living beings. Aliens would be an interesting interpretation and they live in an environment alien to us. Thanks for dropping by and commenting. Enjoy your weekend.
janet
Such a good shot 🙂
Thanks, Lisa. It was one of those shots that truly conveyed the beauty I saw. That doesn’t always happen so it made me happy. Thanks for the visit and comment.
janet
Photos of jellyfish always compel me to reach out and touch, always followed by the thought that touching would probably a terrible idea 😛
Thank you for sharing this lovely photo 🙂
My pleasure. I’m sure touching one would be a very bad idea, but I know what you mean. Fortunately for everyone, these beauties weren’t accessible.
janet
So cool! It’s a stunning photo for this amazing creature!
Thanks. I’m so happy you liked it. Thanks for the visit.
janet
Stunning photo. The colour is amazing
Much appreciated, Sonya. It was a beautiful sight.
janet
🙂 Great picture! It looks almost spooky, but definitely very alive!
Have a very HAPPY weekend! 🙂
Thanks and you as well.
janet
Fantastic, Janet. Totally awesome (and that’s not a word I normally entertain.) 🙂
No, you don’t, Sandra, so I will cherish this comment greatly!
The colors and lines are amazing. What a great photo! Cheers
Many thanks!
janet
AMAZING capture! 🙂
Thank you so very much, Joanne. That makes me happy to read.
janet
This photo takes my breath away, Janet. Beautiful!
Thank you very much, Marion. That’s a lovely compliment. I’m only happy I could convey the beauty I saw at the aquarium.

What an amazing shot. Love it so much.
I’m so pleased, Raewyn. Thanks.
janet
This is utterly gorgeous Janet. Wow!
Then I managed to share the feeling I had when I saw this “guy” and his? cohorts. It was breath-taking.
Great shot. I too had that song play over in my head when I saw the theme
Sometimes I get a song stuck in my head and simply can’t get it out. I’ll even wake up at night with it running over and over. That can be a bit annoying, to say the least. 🙂
janet
Tell me about it! I’ve had chandelier in my head since this time last year lol
Gorgeous. Somehow reminds me of a lady in a strong wind
With her hair flowing out the back…or being blown off her head. 🙂 Glad you like it.
janet
Great shot, Janet! I love those jellyfish!
Thanks to the great underwater shooting expert!
janet
Wonderful colors and shot, Janet!
Thanks a lot, Lisa.

Stunning picture! The colors are exquisite. It’s some form of Jellyfish, right?
It is. I have no idea what kind other than beautiful. 😊
janet
It definitely is beautiful. We are surrounded by such beauty…it’s amazing 🙂
Stunning!
Thanks so much, Karen. Hope your weekend’s off to a great start.
janet
Stunning photo, Janet!!
Thanks! Enjoy the weekend.
What a wonderful photo. It would look brilliant printed out and framed.
Thanks, Suzanne. I’ve been thinking of looking into that for some of my photos, so thanks for the encouragement.
janet
You’re welcome. I can imagine that jelly fish photo would look brilliant blown up
You win! That is a spectacular photo in every way. 🙂
Many thanks, Judy. 🙂
janet
Lovely! I’ve linked so my readers can come see too.
That’s so nice of you, Dawn. Thanks!
janet
great shot, Janet.
Thanks, Randy. Hope you’re having a good weekend. I’m indulging in some hockey immersion.
janet
Beautiful creature!
It was like watching a ballet to see them all swimming around.
janet
Very nice. I’m glad you found a place post it.
Thanks, Steve. I’m glad, too. 😊
Pretty cool photo!
I’m happy you like it. 🙂 A happy Sunday to you.
janet
Lovely picture.
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
janet
A truly great capture – fabulous!
Thank you so much, Leya, and for stopping by so often. I really appreciate it.
janet
Janet…I know i know – I’m a hopeless case this year. But I’m planning on retiring this autumn – more time for us all!
Leya, not only are many of us busy, but when spring comes, it’s just wrong to spend too much time online when nature is calling. And real life is so important! Great news on your retirement, though. Any big plans?
Get to know my husband again…I’ve been working so hard for many years and I believe it requires some time and effort to find each other again. If we stay healthy, we will go travelling together like in the old days. First Switzerland and Scotland this summer, and then back to China. A big country that takes many tours to get to know a bit better. This will be our 4th or 5th trip.
That sounds wonderful, Leya, and the best use of time: love + travel. I can’t wait to read about your adventures.
You are very kind – thank you!
Just spectacular Janet!
Thanks much, Nicole. That means a lot.
janet
I love this picture. I took a picture of a jellyfish once and it didn’t come out as beautiful as this. It was white and ghostly … and the picture was quite pixellated so I never used it.
As this one was in an aquarium, it was probably much easier than trying to get one “in the wild”, if that’s what you were doing. At any rate, I was fortunate to get something that turned out so well. Thanks.
janet
I wasn’t getting one in the wild. It was a fish tank in a Thai restaurant in Birmingham!!
🙂
This is a amazing shot . 👏📷✌👍😊
Thank you so much for saying so. 🙂 And thanks for visiting. I appreciate it.

This is awesome, Janet 🙂
Thanks a lot, Paula.
Beautiful photo. Jellyfish are graceful indeed. 🙂
Lovely AND creepy…that’s a difficult thing to capture on film. 🙂
They’re a bit odd looking, aren’t they?
janet
Another remarkable shot Janet. What sort of IPhone do you have. My very old IPhone 4 is slowly dying and I am wondering what to get next and I love the photos you are getting with yours.
I have a 5S, Pauline, which is old these days, too. 🙂 My husband got me a 6 of some sort for Christmas, but I haven’t gotten around to transferring everything to it yet. I’m always afraid I’ll lose something. 🙂
I am looking at a 6 iPhone that is now reduced to half price and I am impressed with the photos your phone takes, my 4 is no good at all for photos.
The cameras just keep getting better, although I’ve read that the Galaxy has an even better camera than Apple. Gasp!!
Yes I’ve heard that too, but I do not like the expense…
