The Octopus

 We saw this octopus on display at a college art museum. It seems to be made from some kind of homemade crystals.



Did you know that an octopus's brain is not confined to it's head? It has brains in it's tentacles as well. They are very smart, and can even solve puzzles and screw open jar lids.

I did not know that about octopi! With all that brain they should be smart I guess!

That's a very interesting creation. The information about the brain of an octopus is interesting as well.

What a beautiful piece of art. Very colorful and unique.
I never knew those facts about octopuses though. Do they really open jars?

 I snapped these from the Target parking lot. The sun had just gone down, but the trees were hiding the very bottom part of the sunset. Life...
