Little blue thing

[mntlblok]

This little thing floated by as I was paralleling the beach out in front of the lifeguard stand on March 11's high tide at the Blue Heron Bridge. My memory is a bit cloudy, as was the viz at that point, but my best guess for size is in the 1/8 to 1/4 inch range. Lost track of him after checking the LCD monitor, so this is the best I could do photographically. Its color was what caught my eye, as there was no shortage of similarly sized things wafting by. Seems to different enough to run it past this forum.

Rob Myers tells me that it might be the beginnings of a Portuguese Man-of-War. Pretty cool, if so. . .
