Giant Pacific Octopus - veiled in filamentous brown algae #2 of 2
$160.00
Background: I had my head down, slowly moving along in awe of a little species of sea cucumber that was spawning. I looked up from my focus on the small, and there, looking in my direction, was this Giant Pacific Octopus.
I backed off. The octopus backed up, into the filamentous brown algae. And then, for some 5 minutes, we looked at one another. The octopus veiled in the algae. Me, wrapped in wonder.
One of us a brief, and light flashing visitor. The other, royalty among the invertebrates.
Octopus evolution goes back some 330 million years (before dinosaurs). That's more than 1,000 times longer than we two-legged weirdos (homo sapiens).
May the photos communicate some of the emotion and connect you all the more deeply to your care for this coast and our extraordinary neighbours.
