So I went to the Monterrey Aquarium a few weeks ago, and now I am finally finding the time to do some painting in my journal of this one awesome guy I was able to watch for some time. In his tank, he transformed from day-glow pink to rock grey in a few seconds. Octopuses show their emotions with their colors, and one theory about their use of ink is that it actually provides some privacy for hiding important emotions.
They are one of my favorite animals on the planet.
I tagged this image on my
Instagram account, then eagerly clicked on that tag to see all the other cool octopuses. . .
Sad tears because all of the other posts tagged #octopus were images of dinner plates, grills, and bites of octopus going into mouths.
Oh, Instagram. Spoiler of dreams.
