When I look back on my trip to the USA in 2015 there are some places that really stand out. So today for my silent Sunday post I thought I would post some photos of jellyfish that were from one of those places.
Silent Sunday – Jellyfish
On any trip, there are only so many places you can go to. I really didn’t think I would get a chance to go to Monterey Bay Aquarium. My husband went there a number of years ago and raved about it, so I knew it was a place I would like to visit, but wasn’t sure there would be enough time.
One of the last days I spent with my friends there we decided to just do it. We didn’t have a lot of time but decided to see what we could get.
It is such an amazing place. Aquariums are very interesting places.
I enjoyed all I saw there, but the one part that I loved was the room with all the different tanks full of jellyfish. I spent a lot of time photographing them. They were mesmerising.

So today I have got some of the images I took when I was in that room. I would love to go back with my current camera and do them again. Maybe one day.
These are beautiful and so completely mesmerising!
Thank you, jellyfish are certainly that.
Amazing creature. Always love the way they float in the water. Gorgeous photos.
I agree, they look so graceful. Thank you.
These are really beautiful photos, Leanne! It’s a totally different world underwater. 😎❤️
Thank you John, it really is a different world.
Again, very beautiful images, Leanne, and processed very well. A 🙂
Thank you so much Adrian.
I was just there yesterday! Great photos. The jellyfish are beautiful and your images are so good in capturing their beauty.
YOu are so lucky, good to hear the jellyfish as beautiful. Thank you so much.
Hi Leanne. As soon as you said US and jellyfish I figured it had to be the Monterrey Aquarium. That was my best memory of my one visit as well. Love your photos as always.
It is an incredible aquarium. I’m glad is one of your memories as well. Thank you Bec.
Super shots, well done!
Thank you Chris.
Beautiful!
Thank you.
These are sure cool creatures
They really are, so delicate and complicated.
Oh, my! First of all, I’m so glad you got to visit that aquarium. It is one of my favorites, for a lot of reasons. And your shots are just amazing. Guess what? They have live cams on the jellyfish (and other installations). The jellies are so relaxing to watch! https://www.montereybayaquarium.org/animals-and-exhibits/live-web-cams/jelly-cam
I’m so glad I got to as well. Thank you so much, and thank you very much for sending that link, I love it, I will be watching it a lot.
this is amazing, leanne
Thank you so much ksbeth
They sting like the dickens, but the images are gorgeous, Leanne.
Oh yes, I’ve never been stung, but heard, I hear you should always take vinegar to the beach with you. Thank you Lois.
Sci fi
They are a bit.
Leanne, I am forwarding this post to one of the foremost jellyfish experts in the world to see. Beautiful photography as always.
That is really nice of you Ted, and thank you.
