Octopus!

My computer is back from the shop, and I am FINALLY getting a chance to go through my several billion photographs from Cabo Verde. For your viewing enjoyment today, please find three pictures of octopi in the
lagoa at Juncalinho on São Nicolau. The quality is not great on all of these, but the octopi are AWESOME.

This one climbed out to have a look back at us. They were very, very sinewy. 

Sneak Peek

Those of you waiting with bated breath for more pictures are recommended to begin breathing STAT. I've just dropped off my laptop for much needed repair and upgrade (don't worry, all 2400 pictures are saved in two other places), and it'll be in the shop for 7-10 days.

In the meantime, aren't these some little cuties! This was taken in Vila da Ribeira Grande. They asked me to :-)
