Magical Macrocystis
What drift landed you on this shore?
All still now
Macrocystis, like a lot of marine organisms, has a dreamy quality.
I came across the drifted mass featured here on May 20th, 2019. Other items from the May 20th driftline and throughout the year are posted at Wrack Line 2019.
See how Macrocystis stacks up against other dreamy browns at my Brown Algae page.
Let the warm yellows soothe your soul...

This structure is really special – it looks like a brain! Fantasy!
Brains! Yes, and you aren’t the first to mention it to me, so you are onto something. I lean more to the fantasy side, something sort of otherworldly, at least that’s what I had in mind here. Thank you so much for noticing and mentioning it.
Thank you for posting!
Wow! That’s a special picture. I just love seaweeds.
I’ve noticed you’ve got an eye for special pics. Now I’m going to look forward to more seaweed from you! But seriously, thank you.
The dreamy quality is such a great description.
So true. Kelp leans towards dreamy for sure. Anemones too!
Nice. Alien invasion?
Very interesting seaweeds. There are so many and they are so different from one another.
