Fabulous on Friday

Several days ago we went to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California. It was filled with wonderful, wondrous things but one of my favorites is always the jellyfish (not fish at all) or sea jellies. Their unworldly appearance and graceful way of moving mesmerize me. Here’s a short video of some of them but you’ll have to ignore the audio. There were quite a few people around and no way of shutting out the sound. Just mute and enjoy!

Our daughter and I are off to Pasadena today after getting pedicures, a women’s day out, so I’ll be late in responding to comments and blog posts. I hope you have as much fun as I’m sure we will. Thanks for all your wishes for a happy anniversary to us yesterday. We had a good day, ending with a wonderful meal at Din Tai Fung with our daughter and son-in-law. Grandson spent the evening with his other set of grandparents, being a bit too little to appreciate our delicious meal. 🙂

Jellyfish

I love the gracefulness and colors of these lights but, as Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell said way back in the 60’s…

“Ain’t nothin’ like the real thing, baby!”

Weekly Photo Challenge: Motion…underwater poetry in motion

“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!
