Nat Geo

What’s the first thing you do after a diving vacation? Return home and watch all of the shows about the coral reefs and octopi that you can, of course!

There is something incredibly soothing and relaxing in scuba diving once you are actually under the waves. You only really have to breathe. There are no other commitments to attend to, no other thoughts to occupy your mind, nobody needing your opinion or time. You just breathe and be. And then you see another amazing world.

National Geographic channel has “The Secret Life of the Octopus” running. If I didn’t get so darn cold in the ocean I’d love to suit up and go searching for these beauties. So this is a plug for the show – mesmerizing creatures.

And now back to our yard – one squirrel, a rabbit and a few robins. Another beautiful world.
