In a dramatic reproductive spectacle, large numbers of opalescent squids swarm the shallows off California to spawn. During this ritual, females lay capsules filled with up to 300 eggs before dying—alongside the males—leaving their offspring unprotected on the seafloor. Enter the Capitella ovincola. These marine worm "midwives" burrow into the capsules—not to harm, but to help. Find out how at the link in bio. Photographs by @julesjacobs_photo

Capitella worms clean and maintain squid eggs through several key actions. They consume detritus, decaying organic matter, and harmful microorganisms that might otherwise accumulate on the egg casings. By removing this debris, they prevent the growth of fungi and bacteria, which can infect and kill the developing squid embryos. Additionally, their movement around the eggs helps to aerate them, ensuring that each egg receives enough oxygen, which is crucial for their development.

Thought the unexpected ally might be the squid’s father. How naive

I’ve been photographing these trees over the past years and they’re incredible for both sunrise and during a morning with fog or even in gorgeous moody conditions. Sometimes these trees are actually located just outside my room on the accommodation that we use! This year we photographed them both during foggy mornings and a morning where we aligned the sunrise with the trees. Alignments are actually one of the easiest ways to make interesting compositions - one of the compositions techniques I cover in my latest video on YouTube. And if you wanna learn how to benefit from light like this, my ebook on light in landscape photography is the one you waltz with minimal text and tons of examples it’s easy to read. There is a link in my bio. Happy learning! 🤓
