Description

I'll never look upon those ship wrecks of animals, those blobs of blue bubble - bluebottles washed up on the beach, ever the same again. When alive they are an amazing assembly of parts.

These photos are of a lone live individual in a rockpool, there were many others washed up or rafted together.
