Word of the Day: Bioluminescence
We were walking the beach on Hutchinson Island on a dark night one of my favorite places in the world, when my partner saw something shiny in the water.
Dreaming it could be some lost treasure from the 1715 Spanish Treasure fleet that sunk offshoot, we searched the surf carefully.
Our eyes soon focused on yellowing blue dots the size of large diamonds. Grasping the sand revealed a handful of sand but no treasure. Looking closely these glowing dots were coming in at a rate of one or two per crashing wave.
The light from these plankton creatures is similar to the light of a firefly. A pretty amazing phenomenon.
Ours were not as dense as this photo. It pretty cool nonetheless.

That was an amazing shot. Proud to say that was my dad!
He made the local news, as well as People Magazine and the Today Show.
If anyone has any connections for the Today Show archives, I would love to get a copy of that tape.
Definitely had his 15 minutes of fame.
