(33,334 posts)Walleye and Behind the Aegis. I'm curious to know whether the 'jelly' shot was taken at an aquarium. If so, could it be the one in Orlando?
This was a very tough contest. Let's hope the Blue Wave comes crashing through in November!
Behind the Aegis
(56,104 posts)The pic was taken at the San Franscico Zoo in 2019. I was there for my 50th birthday and we went to the zoo, because I love them. However, I was not impressed with that zoo.
However, there were some great places to take pictures and I have others that I enjoyed as well. I have a similar shot, but in all purple that was taken in Las Vegas at one of the hotels. It is pretty cool too. Sadly, I don't store my pics in a really good fashion, so it is hard to find them sometimes.
One of my New Year's Resolutions is to organize my photos...of course, that has been a resolution for three years.
I wish I knew of a program that would allow one to create hashtags for private photo albums on the computer, sort of like Instagram or twitter. It would make finding pics so much easier.

Loved the Jellies!!!

Walleye, your bluebird is gorgeous and the setting and background really make it outstanding. Just an all-around terrific shot!
mnhtnbb, who wouldnt want to be walking on a beach right now looking up at that beautiful blue sky? So peaceful. I can just smell the salt air.
Behind the Aegis, your photo captured an ethereal moment of lightness and beauty under the water. I love it.
And a special shout-out to Calalilly who did a fabulous job hosting this months contest!

I don't think people realize how much work and how time consuming running the contest can be.
