I never get tired of exploring the tide pools close to the Devil's Punch Bowl at Otter Rock. I was thinking about all the interesting creatures that live in the ocean, when I noticed a bright orange tentacle reaching out of the shallow water! It was a pacific octopus with an armspan about the same as mine. I stood just above it and we stared at each other with equal curiosity. My sister and my 12-year old also got a good look before it moved away.
