Shake, Rattle and No Roll

Here's a first, a post with no images. This morning I am laying in bed reading a Clive Cussler book (one of my favorite authors). There was a rumble around 5 and I started to get out of bed when there was a big rumble and you could feel the house react to the noise. It lasted about 10 seconds. I thought it was a truck as it is garbage day. I checked and everything seemed fine in the house, so then I thought of a gas explosion, as I remember one in Westminster when I worked at a newspaper. Shirley asked what it was and then the scanner started. Calls for explosion in the Eldersburg area and police and fire units were looking when the dispatcher came on to say there had been an earthquake. What an experience.

Jellyfish

The ads were on television and there was advertising around the Inner Harbor for a Baltimore Waterfront Invasion. Also known as the Jellies Invasion.
It seemed like an interesting exhibit to see during our visit. It's fun to watch them move through the water.
It was also interesting to note that the book I was reading over the weekend was `Medusa'. It is the latest from Clive Cussler (one of my favorite authors) and involves jellyfish.
The jellyfish come in different size and colors. I was used to seeing them in the Chesapeake Bay. The seas nettles hurt when you come in contact with them.
There were many people in the exhibit, but not the crowd like in other parts of the aquarium. So I was able to shoot some nice images of the jellies.
