Wednesday Photos ~ Octopus/Squid

[Otter]

Last November, I was blessed with the opportunity to video an Octopus for about 8 mins. He played cat and mouse with me and eventually came out and gave me quite a show.

I have a cutdown version of the video on my website if anyone is interested ( I spent more time editing the video than building the website). Its under Gallery at http://www.oberlin.us .

Enjoy

crab once bubbled...
I have been trying to get one of those beauties out in the open and smiling for the camera for what seems like forever. All I have ended up with is photos of bits and pieces.

Timing is everything!

Thanks Crab!

I know Exactly what you mean, I tried for ages to get a good GPO shot, and whenever I saw one "out and about", I didn't have my camera with me. I had long ago given up on trying to get a good shot of one in it's den, and this one just came flowing down the wall at me.

Those are the days that make us want to get wet!
