Octopus
Originally uploaded by Robbi Baba.
The high point of a very good day at the ocean. Steve found a little octopus stranded on the sand and not doing too well. At first we thought it was dead, but he carefully moved it into a pool and it perked right up.
It started out an orangey red color, but turned itself motled grey to match the sand on the bottom of the pool.
We got to see it move along to find a crevice, using his tentacles and sort of gliding, pulling, swimming, slinking. An extrordinary thing to witness! We all felt so lucky to have encountered this creature, surely one of nature's weirdest.
