Since I was on the surface merely looking at one of them, its strategy was to come forward, display itself on a prominent rock & dazzle me by cycling it's colors across its body. Then when I had to look away to empty water from my mask or looked away for another reason, it made its move to completely disappear, poof! I knew it was nearby, hiding, so I found it, once. Since I was diving deeper to look closer, it fled; then used the same strategy when I floated to the surface above it. The second time it worked like a charm because the places to hide were more effective.<br /><br />Octopuses are really, really smart creatures. I hate it when people around here fish for them and eat them.My Half Ofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02535428140881202204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4360207898371541656.post-12010466868729913272009-03-06T08:22:00.000-08:002009-03-06T08:22:00.000-08:00reminds me of "Night at the Museum"reminds me of "Night at the Museum"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4360207898371541656.post-35524536078678347682009-03-03T20:09:00.000-08:002009-03-03T20:09:00.000-08:00I loved every word of this.
