This is wonderful, Jess! Beautiful work!

Your info uprooted a memory of my husband's. When he was young playing around the bays by his home he saw the same thing.
Also your cloud has a bit of a look of a frolicking sperm whale.
Beautiful image as usual Jess.

Gosh, that is cool to know but I wouldn't want to wade in all that sperm. LOL! It makes a great pic!

It's a beautiful scene and the colour of the water adds to the overall pastel effect!

Beautiful Jess. I didn't know about the colour change due to the milky sperm. Thanks for sharing.
