Shuttle service

 
We were working along the Bodega Harbor shoreline a couple of days ago when I noticed some movement out of the corner of my eye.  

Octopus!  

It was very high above the waterline, so Eric decided to pick it up and help it get closer to the water.

Two more views, including a close-up of the eye: 

 



I know most of 2026 is the Year of the Horse, but wouldn't it be fun if there was a Year of the Octopus?
