First Marine Microscope Photo

First Microscope Picture - Can only get better from here

Not having used a microscope for over 30 years, I have just purchased one. Here is one of my first photos. My aim is to capture marine critters but sensibility got the better of me and I decied to start with my fish pond and bird bath. Salt water is very harsh, so freshwater is a good learning medium.

Today we reportedly has one month's rain in one day. I have been watching this tree coping from lack of water. The resliance of the Australian natives.

This shows you have to be lucky with timing!

Catostylus mosaicus (Blue Blubber)

This is a closeup of the bell on the Blue Blubber Jellyfish (Catostylus mosaicus) taken at Royal Brighton Yacht Club. In the last few weeks there have been reports of the Blue Blubber being in plague proportions. Large numbers have been washed up onto the bayside beaches.
