oh so duh!

So having attended my church last night (we are starting a 6 week experiment about having church on Saturday night), I cruised early to the beach. Got to Poipu, parked and started putting on my gear.  That's when it hit me that I had forgotten to bring my cameras!!! They are staged near the door, near the beach towels.  But today, I had already gotten a beach towel, so didn't even think to look in the appropriate area.  I actually thought about driving back home to get them, but decided it wouldn't kill me to swim once in a while without photographic proof.  So of course this was the day when I saw 3 octopuses.  OH OF COURSE I DID.   

With 3 octopuses, of course I enjoyed the swim anyway.  And the two seals sleeping on the beach probably enjoyed NOT having their pix taken.  So today you will be treated to some special octopuses, since I can't post without pix!

 This is an octo-plate my brother-in-law gave me years ago. Cute, eh?!

This is from a comic called Rabids.  If you haven't seen it, look for it. French, but no dialogue, so the language won't be a problem. Very funny show.  AND the octopus on his head shoots off when you push a button on his back. Adorable.

Lego my octopus. A recent gift from sis and bro-in-law. Once people know you like octopuses, they give 'em to you.

 Mosaic octopus from France aquarium.

Nice glass octopus from a friend in Southern California.  And on the right, a glow in the dark one.

Harmony Kingdom octopuses.  They have some amazing animal sculptures.  This one's top comes off and there's a little bag of ink inside. Some people are very creative. 

So though I have no proof of the octo-sightings, I did have a nice swim. And it was actually kind of freeing not to have to carry the camera.  But it'll probably be a while before I forget again!
