Hi it's Danette, your hostess this week.
The theme I have chosen: Water Related (anything to do with any kind of water).
Thanks to all of you who encouraged me to try Flickr. It sure made posting to this group much easier! I can't wait to see your "water related" photos.

| Alligator ...up close and personal |
A huge jellyfish (stuck my foot in the photo so you could get an idea just how big)!
 |
| Something a little more pretty, waterlilies! |
Three great shots, Danette! I can't believe the size of that jellyfish. I've never seen one that big. Love the waterlillies. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, Danette! It was wise of me to come on here prior to posting my contributions. I was going to post one of a jellyfish.. Yours is very good... like the well pedicured toes... Very pretty waterlillies... Have never been so close to an alligator... Good shot!
ReplyDeleteA danger lurks in the murky water.
ReplyDeleteNot something you would want to step on.
Very Claude Monet.
Hi Danette !! Many thanks for hosting this week!! Glad you're using Flickr now, should be a breeze to post here from now on!! Nice close-up of that sneaky 'gator!! Wow, that jellyfish is huge!! Amazing to see all it's tentacles folded up within it. Great shot!! A truly beautiful shot of the waterlilies :-))
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting Danette. Yes Flickr is a good site and this week they have improved it Must have known you were coming. Much easier to find the photos.
ReplyDeleteThe alligator is uniqe, a very good take. That is a great capture of the jelly fish, they do grow big in the states. Waterlillies are a thankful flower for a photo, just beautiful.
Hi Danette an awesome theme this week and three stunning shots to get us going great work my friend have a great weekend;)
ReplyDeleteGreat theme, Danette, and incredible shots! That alligator is too close for comfort! lol, You brave woman, you! I'm hoping it was in a pen or enclosure!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a beached jellyfish before. Poor thing!
Gorgeous shot of the water lilies.
no not in a pen, did you see him in the bottom of the photo on wordless wednesday? he surprised me, that's for sure!
DeleteLovely shots.
ReplyDeleteThe waterlilies are so pretty.
the giant jellyfish is my favorite! :)
Hi Danette, great theme!! And three great pictures to go with it. I did the same thing when I came upon a jellyfish on the beach - put my foot next to it for scale. Your jellyfish is bigger and very interesting. Of course you were wise not to stick your foot by the alligator for scale.
ReplyDeleteYour water lilies are so tranquil - I love the slightly blurred edges that add to the serenity.
LOL@about the foot near the alligator :)
DeleteI have something id like to post but im still confused on how to post, the rules of posting, and if ive been accepted as a member..
ReplyDeleteI sent Mitch a message, keep checking back to see what you need to do :)
DeleteHi Jacob,
DeleteTo start with, I need the e-mail address that you use for your Blogger account. If you e-mail it to me at picturethistng@gmail.com I will send you an invite and some basic instructions.
hi danette, love your pics. the first one is terrifying with the alligator. the water lilies on the contrary are romantic and lovely.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture of the water lilies. Very nice That gator sitting and waiting is really cool. Nice takes, Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi Danette, the photo of the alligator is terrifying. It seems that it's waiting for its prey. I was wondering if that is a Portuguese Man of War. Aren't they bigger than a jellyfish? I'm not a marine biologist. I do like how you put your foot in the shot to show the size of it. The water lilies are just lovely. Great theme!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure, I am not a Marine Biologist either :) however this is the second jellyfish of this size I have seen. The last one was a Cannonball jelly fish and a little bit bigger and there was a Marine Biologist on the beach who said that was the first one she had seen of that size!
DeleteBoth were from the southeastern US (North Carolina and Georgia)
