Chesapeake Bay Sea Nettles – Water Ballet II
I previously shared photos and information on Chesapeake Bay Sea Nettles that had suddenly appeared in large numbers in Cambridge Creek back in September. (previous post here)
Most of the Sea Nettles didn’t stay but a few days before the tides carried them away to new destinations. Luckily a few big ones remained for a week or more, so I continued to photograph them when they were gliding at the top of the water near me.
Shade and overcast days worked best, as well as early morning when the water was usually calm.
I hope you enjoy another photo series of “Sea Nettle Water Ballet”.

I thought this next especially large sea nettle with 6-8 foot tentacles gave an appearance of a bride. What do you think? 😊
