Welcome to my s~A(R)T~urday linky party – today: Bonaire Lac Bay
“Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.” ~Jean-Luc Godard ~
What?! I am late again? That seems to become a constant thing around here, huh? I hope you don’t mind too much.
Like the past few weeks I don’t have a much edited or even painted or drawn image for you today. But what I do have is a little video. One that, as usual, took a little longer to put together, hence the delay in my post.
Anyhoo, I hope you enjoy the underwater world in the shallows in Lac Bay, including the octopus. A few more reef fish photos are in this previous post.
Have a great weekend!

Snorkeling the shallow reef on Bonaire I never thought I would see an
octopus.
Notice how it quickly changes its colors to camouflage.
It was awesome!

Nice filming and love the Octopus … They are such interesting characters and I love how he made himself just disappear at the end. Nature is so amazing. Looking forward to more pictures from you vacation.

Thanks, Andrea, He was certainly THE find of this vacation. Amazing how he curled up in the crevice, right?
Did I see this right? He changed colors to match his environment? I did not know they did that! Very cool video!
Yes, exactly! It is an amazing creature, right? At first I didn’t see it. When I did I read up on it, and yes, they do.
Wow Claudia seeing that octopus in his natural environment was amazing!
What impressed me the most was how peaceful he was – as contrasted by the “monsters” we were raised to believe!
What an amazing place to vacation!
That is very true, Ramona. I actually showed the video to a co-worker today and the very first thing she said was ‘ewww’ – 🙂 that’s just what we were raised to believe. But seeing it in the wild, effortless hovering from coral to coral – I was in awe.
Cool video! We had family friends who were famous marine biologists, her main focus was the octopus!
I can understand why. I was soooo surprised to spot him there and then see him moving over to the next coral. I bet you had quite a few interesting talks with your family friends.
Amazing! You were lucky to spot it!
Very literally I was lucky. He must have moved a little otherwise I probably would not have. He is a master in camouflage.
Love it! Oh I miss going on tropical vacations! This is such an amazing thing – to see that vibrant life under the sea.
If you read my Chat post, you’ll see that I completely blundered on my art post! Like completely forgot that I had in fact done a photo edit! duh.
Yeah, next week is going to be a slow easy week! My brain clearly needs a rest. ha
Claudia, what a spectacular video! I don’t much about sea life, so my first thought was hey, a squid! But, you said it was an octopus. I guess I thought an octopus would be a lot bigger, but then again there are different kinds. Who cares, though! Right? That was an amazing experience and I REALLY appreciate you sharing this with this scaredy Cathy. I’m sorry for the late visit, but oh am I glad I finally hopped over! 😉
