  • The Monterey Aquarium in California contains many types of jellyfish. Pictured here is a white jellyfish with orange strips

  • Corals are marine organisms from the class Anthozoa and exist as small sea anemone-like polyps, typically in colonies of many identical individuals. Some corals are reef builders that are found in tropical oceans, which secrete calcium carbonate to form a hard skeleton...Corals can catch small fish and animals such as plankton using stinging cells on their tentacles, however these animals obtain most of their nutrients from photosynthetic unicellular algae.  As a results, most corals depend on sunlight and grow in clear and shallow water, at depths shallower than 200 ft (60 meters).

  • Sea Nettle Jellyfish, Chrysaora fuscescens, taken at the Monterey Aquarium in California. Not a jellyfish sting, but the sea nettle does. It hunts tiny drifting animals by trailing those long tentacles and frilly mouth-arms, all covered with stinging cells. When the tentacles touch prey, the stinging cells paralyze it and stick tight. The prey is then moved to the mouth-arms and finally to the mouth, where it's digested.

  • The translucent aspect of many invertebrates, here a jellyfish, can be seen clearly in this picture.  The blue lumps in the bottom of the jellyfish look like feet and is one of the most unique jellyfish that I have seen.  This picture was taken at the Monterey Aquarium in California which has a large section dedicated to jellyfish.

  • Living sand dollar have a different look than the white exoskeleton people are familiar with. Densely packed, tiny, dark purple spines cover live sand dollars and hide the star design...In their sandy seafloor habitat, sand dollars use their fuzzy spines, aided by tiny hairs (cilia), to ferry food particles along their bodies to a central mouth on their bottom side. They capture plankton with spines and pincers (pedicellariae) on their body surfaces. Sand dollars use their spines to move along the sand, or to drive edgewise into the sand. On the upper half of the sand dollar's body, spines also serve as gills...In quiet waters, sand dollars stand on end, partially buried in the sand. When waters are rough, sand dollars hold their ground by lying flat or even burrowing under the sand. Adults can also fight the currents by growing heavier skeletons. Young sand dollars weigh themselves down by swallowing heavy sand grains.

  • California's Coast is about 840 miles long extending from Mexico to Oregon.  Cliffs and coves abound along the Central Coast south of Monterey, California near Big Sur.  Clouds usually enhance the orange glow of sunsets.  Here the cloudless skies reveal a band of orange light.

  • McWay Falls is in Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park in Monterey County, California near the town of Big Sur on the state's Central Coast. McWay Creek drops 80 ft. off a cliff onto the beach in an small cove along the Pacific Ocean. A trail in the park leads to an overlook where the cove and waterfall can be seen from above.   Access to the cove is restricted due to environmental concerns about the crumbly cliffs.  This stunning waterfall is well know for as it makes one feel like they have reached a beach in paradise with a waterfall gracefully dropping to the beach below.
