trip to island house

i took some pics while we were at the small dock, getting ready to leave to the island house. there was alot of jellyfish by the doc, i counted about 4 (the dock is very small ) lion's mane jellyfish. those are the stingables, which can cause some pain and rash when stung, but usually not fatal. when they open up, they are flower shaped, which looks kinda cool as you can see below.this is as close as i could get... it looks abit like and eyeball here cuz of the veins and stuff... their threads hang down, and the longest i've seen is about a meter. thank goodness i wasnt in the water XD
shortly after we got to the island, we saw a family of minks. i never saw a mink before i think? they look a little bit like black otters when they are swimming in the water, and they have a very very shiny pelt. they look very cute too, and have beady blackish-grey eyes... cant describe the sound the make though... abit like a rasp. anyway, one got really close to me since they're considered shy creatures. it was a young one that was curious i guess. so alex got a couple of nice shots then
a closer up pic of the cute lil mink. btw, they were imported from North America for their pelt, but some got loose and now people are grumpy because minks kill birds in Norway. and they ruin the island house a lil bit.. pee and stuff. but consider what happens to them >_>
lastly, for this post, i end with a cool picture of a rock. you can see many layers and i found it interesting. i'll blog up some pics of the house later... kinda dont want to be at the com now since i have a headache. tata!
