Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated.
Happy Saturday
The next several photos will be from a photo walk that I did in the delightful and arty town of Elora, Ontario. I was only there for a few hours, but in that time I ran around enthusiastically snapping photos. :) I wish that I could have spent more time there! There is a lot more to see in this region, and I barely scratched the surface. Alas, I had to get back home. Perhaps I will re-visit Elora in the summer...
It’s probably going to take me a couple of weeks to post all my photos from that outing. Some are more interesting than others, but there is something about each of them that I like, so I want to include them here. I hope that you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed taking them. ✨
I’m starting this series off with probably my favourite find from that day. I love unusual stuff like this, and I think the colour of the door is so beautiful.
Happy Friday, everyone, and thank you as always for your wonderful friendship and support here!

PULPO SECO (Denia)
Cuentan algunas historias de marineros que el pulpo seco empezó a secarse en los barcos y que se consumía como sustituto del tabaco para los marineros que pasaban tantas horas en el mar.
La imagen de pulpos secándose al sol, como si fuera ropa, es una de las imágenes más típicas de Dénia y que, antaño se veía de forma habitual. Hoy en día se puede ver solo en determinados restaurantes de la costa dianense. El secar el pulpo con el sol y la brisa marina es todo un arte que requiere esmero y unas condiciones específicas que se dan en ciertos meses del año, siempre controlando que la humedad ambiental no sea excesiva.
Lo más importante de este plato es lavar bien el pulpo antes de dejarlo secar ya que hay que eliminar todos los restos de arena/ tierra que pueda tener el pulpo. Se tiende al sol y se recoge al atardecer para que no coja humedad. Una vez seco las patas se tuestan en el fuego (se cocina directamente a la llama) o en una plancha de hierro hasta que estén bien doradas. Se corta en rodajas finitas y se adereza con un buen aceite de oliva. Este plato se recomienda comerlo en caliente ya que es mucho más sabroso.
A common octopus travels trough the open sea at night. He is looking for a reef..... This Octopus comm's out fresh from the larval stage, out of the stream of plankton. He's size is approximately 2cm.

After watching my octopus teacher I have a renewed admiration for these beautiful and intelligent creatures.
In 2012 we went to Rarotonga for a short vacation. This is great place for relaxation, a bit of snorkeling, and exploring the island. On a shallow lagoon we met pair of octopuses (you can see another one just behind reef).
Hi, I'm Mrs Octopus and next to me is Mr...
"Mr Jellyfish, move your orange tentacles and come here! I want to introduce you to my flickr friends!"
He is not rude, just a shy and good-hearted gentleman!
Tonight, we'll go to the Blue Coral to celebrate the Liberation Day. We celebrate the day we destroyed the nets of many fishermen and saved hundreds of marine animals!
The dress I'm wearing is a gift from Mr Jellyfish. Do you like it?
The Mimic Octopus (Thaumoctopus mimicus) has a unique way of camouflaging. Rather than blending in with the seafloor, it changes its skin color and how it moves its tentacles to take on the shape of other sea creatures.
What an amazing world we live in .. and yet we human are generally so stupid!

This ancient Douglas Fir has been standing on the coast of Washington for hundreds of years. We called it the Octopus tree for obvious reasons. We wandered around for an hour or so and this was my favourite angle. Kris..
This octopus was close to shore, at a depth of about 25 feet, in a place where divers begin and end their dives. The odd thing about this octopus is that it did not flee, it did not slither into a crevice--it stood upright, it wandered about, and was casual concerning its enthralled audience. My explanation hinges on the fact that octopi are known to be smart and clever. My hunch is that has had plenty of time to learn that divers will not hurt it, they just pay intense attention for a little while and then they move on. I think it was posing and showing off!
… and Venice reflected on Octopus. Octopus is one of the largest yachts in the world and is owned by Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft.
Paralarvae usually spend an uncertain amount of time in the plankton and then typically descend to an adult habitat in the mesopelagic or bathypelagic zone. Their population abundance is dependent on the variation of mortality rates during the planktonic period. (Wikipedia)

The giant Pacific octopus at the Monterey Aquarium was very active during our visit in October. What a fascinating creature, known to be very intelligent.

Blue-ringed octopuses, comprising the genus Hapalochlaena, are four extremely venomous species of octopus that are found in tide pools and coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian oceans, from Japan to Australia. They can be identified by their yellowish skin and characteristic blue and black rings that can change color dramatically when the animal is threatened. They eat small crustaceans, including crabs, hermit crabs, shrimp, and other small sea animals.
They are one of the world's most venomous marine animals. Despite their small size—12 to 20 cm (5 to 8 in)—and relatively docile nature, they are very dangerous if provoked when handled because their venom contains a powerful neurotoxin called tetrodotoxin.
The species tends to have a lifespan of approximately two to three years. This may vary depending on factors such as nutrition, temperature, and the intensity of light within its environment. (Wikipedia)

Bart Smeets (Smates) is a Belgian street artist who was born 1978 in Asse (close to Brussels). He studied graphic design at Sint-Lukas Brussels and graduated as a graphic designer. Bart has always been a fan of realistic drawings and paintings, so after graduating he followed painting classes for about two years and that helped him to become the artist he is today. At the age of 17 Smates started with graffiti and since September 2013 he has been a full-time street artist. Campus Vildersstraat, Hasselt
Amphioctopus marginatus, also known as the coconut octopus and veined octopus, is a medium-sized cephalopod belonging to the genus Amphioctopus. It is found in tropical waters of the western Pacific Ocean. It commonly preys upon shrimp, crabs, and clams, and displays unusual behavior including bipedal walking and tool use (gathering coconut shells and seashells and using these for shelter). (Wikipedia)

Clathrus archeri (synonyms Lysurus archeri, Anthurus archeri, Pseudocolus archeri), commonly known as octopus stinkhorn, or devil's fingers, is a fungus which like most fungi has a global distribution. The young fungus erupts from a suberumpent egg by forming into four to seven elongated slender arms initially erect and attached at the top. The arms then unfold to reveal a pinkish-red interior covered with a dark-olive spore-containing gleba. In maturity it smells like putrid flesh.
