While visiting San Francisco's Ocean Beach, three friends stumbled across this dead jellyfish laying in the sand. The braver of the three picked it up so that a photograph could reveal the jellyfish's small size.

A small jellyfish was found floating in the gently lapping water of the beach just inside the protected cove of Angel Island. The two kids that found it were looking for a stick with which to poke it while this photo was being taken.
