Deep in the redwood forest. "Waterfalls" body of photographic work.

Top tip: always bring an LED head lamp with you when you hike deep into the forest, late in the afternoon, to photograph waterfalls. Otherwise, bring a good dog who can guide you back out through the silent darkness.

Vasquez rocks. Parking lot on the far left. The built-up dam-like structure on the left supports the 14 freeway as it descends from Palmdale down to Santa Clarita. San Gabriel mountains in the distance, and Vasquez is part of the Sierra Pelona mountains

Seven-arm Octopus (Haliphron atlanticus), family Alloposidae, Salish Sea off the coast of WA, USA

This is one of the largest octopus species, with an estimated total length of 3.5 meters (11 feet) and a mass of 75 kg (165 lb)

This octopus does have 8 arms, but the hectocotylus (a specially modified arm used in egg fertilization) is coiled in a sac beneath the right eye, and is not easily seen.

This species is rarely seen by humans.
