THE OCTOPUS: THERE’S NOTHING QUITE LIKE IT…
I’ve posted about the octopus a couple of times before. The first time was to explore the correct plural of the word ‘and related cephalopod mysteries’. You can see that HERE. More recently there was ‘Marine Bagpipes filled with Ink’, which you can see HERE. Both posts were really a way to show some of Melinda Riger’s stunning underwater photography, with an octopoidal theme. Now I have some more images for you, so I present some new photos of Octopi… erm, Octopodes… erm, Octopuses…
This octopus is having a sleep, disguised as a rock

Amazing photos! And quite the disguise for sleeping.

Agreed, Gina – How nice just to be able to take on the shape and appearance of a rock sometimes… RH

Hehehe, I’m glad I can have a peep on the screen, you wouldn’t get under water to go looking for them, RH.
Excellent shots, my best regards to Melinda. Amazing creatures!!

Thanks Dina. In the end, we didn’t see an octopus. Sharks, rays, turtles, dolphins and whales, though – that more than makes up for it! RH

Holy macaroni, RH — these are fantastic photos! Sometimes the octopus can vanish, which makes these photos even more incredible. Love the rock. 😀

Octopus and macaroni – do they go together, Jet? Somewhere I posted a video of an octopus unscrewing a jar lid. That’s how cool they are!
