I've never swum with them (and I'm not sure I'd want to!), but I've seen plenty in aquariums, where they seem quite popular, bobbing around like the wax in lava lamps. They can be mesmerising to watch.Dan Purduehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633271913854946500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369429383948592696.post-1379378152077012682016-06-19T14:23:07.788+01:002016-06-19T14:23:07.788+01:00They are beautiful to look at but, I agree, from a...They are beautiful to look at but, I agree, from a distance.

I'm always very cautious when I see jellyfish - mainly because their tentacles can be very long and very hard to spot in the water.Susan A Eameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06216267529948378488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369429383948592696.post-72081611371859473242016-06-10T17:48:06.782+01:002016-06-10T17:48:06.782+01:00Thanks, Sue.

Thanks for letting me know there is something worse to watch for!<br />When we were in Fiji a couple of months ago we went parasailing. During the ride the guide lowers you down to the water so your legs drag along and then you go sailing back in the air. As we were being lowered the ocean was full of jellyfish. Dave and I looked at each other and said "I hope these aren't poisonous"! We came away untouched but it was rather disconcerting at the time.Sue Slaghthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04279970424098690741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369429383948592696.post-760741092734081842016-06-09T20:53:06.192+01:002016-06-09T20:53:06.192+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Susan A Eameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06216267529948378488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369429383948592696.post-76804173712207897802016-06-09T20:52:37.275+01:002016-06-09T20:52:37.275+01:00I'd love to leave you thinking I'm brave -...I'd love to leave you thinking I'm brave - but perspective is everything and none of the jellyfish in the photos was larger than a football. :)<br />Susan A Eameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06216267529948378488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369429383948592696.post-73325438623275742492016-06-09T20:50:44.914+01:002016-06-09T20:50:44.914+01:00Wow, that must have been some storm, Kathleen!Wow, that must have been some storm, Kathleen!Susan A Eameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06216267529948378488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369429383948592696.post-87423257389033975752016-06-09T18:45:28.381+01:002016-06-09T18:45:28.381+01:00You're a brave girl!!
