Lovely selections. The Oriole is beautiful and I loved seeing the Owl
Open was a great choice and what a photo! You were brave to be that close to a snake. 😳
The octopuses on the line was amazing capture but made me sad the octopus is being killed. I saw a program on TV about them and how they can change their shape and are one of the smartest animals in the sea. So much more is unknown about them as they are a mystery. They can play and solve problems.The giant Pacific octopus has three hearts, nine brains and blue blood, making reality stranger than fiction.
I always love reading your interesting posts Melinda. You have had some fabulous adventures.💞

Thanks, Jo! The snake was on the other side of a piece of glass. That is the only way I would have gotten that close.
I have seen octopus swimming in the sea when I was scuba diving. They are incredible to watch.
Hope you are having a good weekend!
Phew! I’m glad there was a glass between you and the snake.
Nothing else on earth is like the octopus. they like to take things apart. There is a famous story of one 100 yrs ago in Brighton Aquarium in England. An octopus there got out of its tank at night when no one was watching, went to the tank next door and ate one of the lumpfish and went back to his own tank and was sitting there the next morning. The aquarium lost several lumpfish before they figured out who was responsible
Poor lumpfish! 😕 Octopus are much more intelligence than you would think by just looking at them
