Can you find the octopus?
Marty’s photo of the day #4377: Can you spot the octopus? The octopus is near the center, behind the first rock. After holding the octopus for a while, I sent her on her way. But rather than racing away, she was still curious about me. So she swam behind the rock and slowly lifted just […]

The octopus watcher

Octopus time warp
Marty’s photo of the day #2875: In this photo, I’m enjoying the company of an octopus, in the Sea of Cortez. If you look closely you can see one of the octopus’s eyes and its siphon (which is what gives it jet propulsion to “fly” through the water). Note how wrinkled my fingers are. Spending […]

The water was shallow, and waves were splashing, so […]
