I traded my D600 in for a Z7 for pictures that are better with a full frame format (landscapes mostly in my case).  I purchased the camera about a year ago and thought because of the file sizes and other things I would not use it that much, preferring the D500.  Unsurprisingly I am using the Z7 for almost all my home photos and the D500 for action and distance stuff.  The z7 just got animal eye focus.  It is rather slick stuff.  Don't know that I would test it on lions, tigers, wolves, or bears but for the average dog it works well.  I don't have a cat to test it on.  I was just trying to get use to the software so please excuse the noise from the bad exposure.

      It’s hard to get a handle on who is who without some sort of signature name. It doesn’t need to be your real name if you are shy of such things, but it helps to personalize the relationship of a person to his artwork/rig/problems!

Octopus are masters of camouflage.  They are likely the most intelligent of the invertebrates and always shy, but often curious.  They can change the color and texture of their skin in less than a second and can match the color of their skin to their surroundings.
If you look carefully, you might find one in the intertidal rocks at Morro Bay!

All that is visible on M. Octopus is his eye.  Found this interesting video about octopus eyes.

If any of you are hooked up with Curiosity Stream, there is a http://curiositystream.com/video/3141/octopus-encountersreally good 12-minute video on there about octopi.

Ignore the weirdly-colored hair of the narrator - this short video is excellent.

Judie,
Good videos, all three!  The third was the best, in spite of the funny hair.  The octopuses stole the show!   Octopuses are one of my very favorite animals in the ocean.  They are a treat to interact with and always do interesting things.

Here is a photo of my daughter stalking and shooting photos of an octopus on one of our favorite shallow reef gardens.  I watched her stalk this octopus through the rocks for 15 minutes, so I captured it with a picture.  Our diver and biologist friends immediately see the octo, but other friend say "What octopus?"  Wendy is looking directly at it.

Once you see it, it jumps right out at you.

I have become totally fascinated by these creatures.  I have seen them mostly on menus, and think this is a terrible tragedy.

In our family, eating an octopus would be like eating a kitten.

On the other hand, we have no such philosophical or gastronomic objections to catching and eating giant squid (a relative of the octopus), or ling cod ( a predator on octopus).

In my early teen years (1964 to 66) my Dad was stationed at Wheelus AFB in Libya on the south coast of the Med.  We were snorkeling eight to nine months of the year.  We quickly learned to be on the watch for octopus and how to lure them by dropping something near the hiding spot.  They were a lot of fun to play with.

Ewwww - ling cod!!!  I had never seen one of those before.  It looks positively pre-historic.

A great fish to catch and even tastier to eat.
Landing one in a kayak is interesting, ling cods have a mouthful of scary looking shape teeth.
It's best to dispatch them first, before bringing it it aboard.
Nowadays, we catch large packets of them at Costco.

The Massai are referred to as "Pastoralist Peoples", following their cattle and goats and building temporary dwellings until it is time to move on to the next grazing area or waterhole. The skill of firemaking is a survival skill in this part of the world.  Here some elders of the community are passing on their technique to the attentive younger males of the tribe.

"The skill of firemaking is a survival skill in this part of the world."

That is undoubtedly true, particularly in a primitive society. However I would think that a fire drill is probably the most difficult method of starting a fire. My money says flint and steel is a better choice. But then, you do what you can with materials at hand.

But one wonders if the fellow on the left, who is sporting an expansion band wristwatch, has ever seen a butane lighter?   ::)

Last night's sun set.  
Location-- outside JTNP on BLM land
Weather conditions -- 10 to 25 mph winds with what they call rain.
Equipment -- Pixel 4
Edits -. Google photo with round trip thru Sanpseed.

Observations --. Yes that's what the sun set looked like.   It was followed by a great rainbow but I was unable to get a good picture with the cell phone.   All equipment has limitations.

Southern California Edison has been upgrading poles and replacing bare power cable with insulated cable since we are in a wild land fire area. Got this shot as they were working by our house. I titled it “Party at the Pole.”
