Walking parallel with the shoreline there was plenty of DISORDER to go around when this jellyfish was spotted washing up on to the shore. When this photo was snapped it was the photographer or the jellyfish and this photographer wasn’t about to get stung. Being ever so talented (lol) the photographer took evasive measures ensuring there was no contact while keeping the camera lens and finger on the shutter. Talk about being upside down this unfortunate jellyfish had DISORDER in its life and so did the photographer.

Maybe, some disorder is only another kind of order?

This is a very interesting shot. It looks like it was truly attacking you with purpose, although jellyfish hardly have a sense of conscious action! Well done!

Thank you! and thanks for stopping by. Most likely the last thing on the mind (?) of this jellyfish was a conscious action, lol.

Thank you! Wasn’t sure if I should run or shoot; being a photographer we see the choice, lol.

Great shot – poor jellyfish must have been so disoriented.

I sort of felt bad for the poor thing. Would have helped it back into the sea if a bucket was handy.

I’ve never been stung but from what I hear it’s not a LOT of fun.
This certainly suits the theme.

Me neither, my dh has been and he said it was memorable!

Can they still sting if they are dead, perhaps that’s why it was being washed ashore. I love your descriptive evasive tactics.

Excellent question! The sting happens by contact – even dead.
Glad you enjoyed this one!

You and your great timing! I wouldn’t know you took this shot in the middle of a duel to the death with a jellyfish. Once again, neat shot 🙂

Glad you liked this shot. This wasn’t a first choice for posting until I took a close look and saw the dry sand beneath the water on the bottom left of the photo.
