In An Octopus's Garden

Thanks so much for putting my 'Who would believe this is winter' photo on the top twenty.

When I saw this octopus it brought to mind The Beatles song.

I can almost hear Ringo singing as this wonderful creature is dancing in the water.

Loved your TT photo - congrats! We played this song in our ukulele group often but honestly didn't know it was the Beatles! This one is beautiful outlined!

[Peter H]

Pulpo! Great with some lemon juice, garlic and olive oil...

[Valerie Chesney]

Wonderful close up capture Babs. Big Fav

[Babs]

@maggiemae Thanks Maggie. The song was written and sung by Ringo Starr.

@peadar I hope he doesn't hear you. ha ha.

[Marnie]

Ahh, I remember it well Babs. Impressive looking octopus.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Congratulations on your TT- it was a beautiful scene .
This is a super capture , I love the translucency of the suckers - they look like pearl necklaces !! and the song I had forgotten - such a lovely blast from the past - listening to Ringo and his merry song . Just the place for me on these hot days we are having at the moment . I shall be hearing his song for the rest of the morning !! fav

[Peter]

Lovely clear shot. I love to eat octopus in garlic. Christine doesn't so I can only have from a testaurant or if invited for lunch or dinner by my daughter or daughter in law.

[Jacqueline]

Wonderful shot!

[Lou Ann]

Wonderful capture! Glass reflections on aquariums are so tricky, you have mastered dealing with them. This is terrific.

Would love to see one of these up close but could never eat one!

[Brennie B]

So so nice. Love the colours too and how sort of glistens

Great close up!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@maggiemae I could easily see Yolanda pretending to be a mermaid in this shot!

Nice catch Babs- there was a girl in my high school art class who did an animation to part of this song. I always think of her when I hear it.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Such interesting features these creatures have.

[Sue Cooper]

A wonderful capture and it definitely makes me think of the song.

Lovely shot and colours.

[Margo]

Nice capture
