Well, we're down four camps...one 'Around The World', and three 'Ocean Adventures', which so far has turned out to be my favorite, though there are two more Around The World's, which start this next week, so we'll see...it's just really hard to beat cruising around the deep sea with an Octopus as your guide!

In the previous post you met Mayhem (I like to call her May), our local resident Octopus that for the time being, is so graciously living at the Seattle Aquarium so we can all enjoy her magnificence. The Aquarium is kind enough to keep their Octopi for only six to twelve months, then they are released back into Puget Sound to live out the rest of their very short lives (only 4-7 years) swimming about and having babies.

And thanks to my amazing little artists, May now has a bunch of new friends to swim around with once she is released. Our local waters will definitely be brightened by the presence of these lovely creatures, and when they're all done swimming about, several homes will be brightened by their presence as well.

In the next post I'll show you how we toured the deep with May as our guide...all while being able to stay very warm and dry...and safe!
A very happy August to all from Mayhem and her new crew...and from me of course, I'm off to Africa, China, and either Germany or France next week, both if at all possible...
Bon Voyage!
