Watch the footing par duex

 Friday we went out to Tahiti Beach and walked around a bit. Usually there isn't much to find here and that turned out to be the case on Friday as well. It's not unexpected since this beach is on the Sea Of Abaco where there is little wave action to bring shells to shore. In addition most of the Sea of Abaco is grassy unlike the environment many of the more desireable shells live in.
 So on the way back we cut across some vacant property and that's where I located my find of the day. A nail. Right up through my flip flop and into the ball of my right foot. It's not exactly conducive to walking so we took Saturday off. Besides after playing chase the Gecko we were not really in the mood for a walk anyway.

 Today the tide was with us being low at 10:30 or so. With that, off we went for the Atlantic side here by Sea Spray. We walked North looking over the tidal pools and sandy spots. Deb found some really good shells today and considers today the best day of shelling she's had so far.

 She also found a new friend in this octopus. She just about put her foot down on it without realizing it was there. They camafloge themselves so well they are difficult to see unless you are looking for them. It was stuck just about high and dry perhaps foraging around for some food. However it was still quite active and able to seek the water below. When I stood in front of it for the photos it pulled itself into a wad on a rock and did its best to dissappear into the back ground. From five or six feet I was hard pressed to locate it again even though I knew exactly where it was.

 Those Octupus are crafty critters. It pulled itself in, changed the texture of its skin, alterred its color and blended in.
