Happy Saturday

I was observing the fisherman's strugge to untangle the octopus from the net. All the time a stray cat was waiting patiently until it was finally rewarded with a fresh fish from the day's catch.

...por no poner "sin título" :-)

oder so

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.

I envy octopuses, who have three hearts and can rest one when they are tired.

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).

After watching my octopus teacher I have a renewed admiration for these beautiful and intelligent creatures.

Modification of an original photo by Donna Currall

An octopus had been found in shallow water (5 or 6 feet) and did not flee as divers took turns looking. Its reaction was to hide the tips of its tentacles.

Octopi can change their color and pattern quickly. They can even change the texture of their skin.

The soul is an octopus and those are its tentacles:

This photo of Tina makes me think of an octopus for some reason--all curled up on herself, tracking me with one eye. Maybe it's a subconscious thing, because the pattern on this kantha quilt is wavelike.

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..

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!

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.

Me and my shell.

Amphioctopus marginatus, also known as the coconut octopus and veined octopus, is a medium-sized cephalopod belonging to the genus Amphioctopus. The main body of the octopus is normally 8 centimeters (3 in) long and including the arms, approximately 15 centimeters (6 in) long. 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).
