When we're deep in the middle of winter, remember that there's still life #poetrycommunity #ecology #deepseadecember
Image of poem over an abyssal snailfish. Poem reads: Who’s Explored the Mariana Trench What moves within the Challenger Deep, The blackest heaviest canyon on the planet? The Earth rotates to night at a creep And my mood sinks as pulled by granite. The blackest heaviest canyon on the planet, A thousand times more pressure than the land. And my mood sinks as pulled by granite. It’s time for bed, I cannot stand. A thousand times more pressure than the land, No human dares trespass there. It’s time for bed, I cannot stand - My partner only gives a stare. No human dares trespass there, The obsidian weight so intense. My partner only gives a stare And nothing in my mind makes sense. The obsidian weight so intense How could anything survive. Nothing in my mind makes sense, Immobilized, no internal drive. How could anything survive And yet there’s evidence of so much there. Immobilized, no internal drive, I excavate a simple reason I can care And yet there’s evidence of so much there, Soft worms and crabs and more can seep. I excavate a simple reason I can care. Because of what moves within the Challenger Deep.

A new piece for #ArtAdventCalendar! Another deep sea jelly from Monterey Bay Aquarium, a newly discovered species that isn't even named yet! I'm calling it a Jujube Jelly for now, as that's what it looks like to me.

#DeepSeaDecember #MarineLife #SciArt #ArtYear #FineArt #Watercolor #AnimalArt

Watercolor painting on black paper of a deep sea jelly found in the Monterey Bay Aquarium Deep Sea Exhibit that is yet unnamed, as it's newly discovered. The small body of the comb jelly is red and resembles a jujube date. Long, purplish-white tentacles with many cilia rise vertically above the body.
