John and Nicole Forte went tide pooling off Navigtor's Beach on The Sea Ranch. They spotted this small octopus, who's common name is Ruby Octopus or Pacific Red Octopus.

The Ruby Octopus is thought to be very intelligent, like most octopuses. They have distinctive personalities. Like all octopuses, they can change color and texture. What an amazing little octopus John and Nicole found.

Thanks to John for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

We are having minus tides in the afternoon now, a perfect time to find a tide pool to explore!

Today we are having the calm after the storm. It's cool but absolutely beautiful. Tree Mercer tells me she and Scott are seeing lots of Gray Whales swimming northward today.

Can you imagine experiencing this? Peter Forte was kayaking down the Gualala River when he slid past an adult Bald Eagle feasting on a bird.

Harm Wilkinson saw perhaps the same Bald Eagle at the Gualala River.

Thanks to Nicole Forte who told me about her son's video and sent it to me. Thanks to Peter for allowing me to share his video, and thanks to Harm for allowing me to share his photo.

Cloudy, with a few showers this morning. Another storm coming in early tomorrow!
