runsamuck took the kids to the Aquarium of the Pacific. In a recent cleanup, Gareth's stuffed friend Whalie, an orca, disappeared, and he's been very upset about losing her. So Dad got him this octopus; Gareth has dubbed him "Blue." I think he's supposed to be a blue-ringed octopus - larger than actual size, but hopefully, less toxic.

runsamuck came in and told me "Leeanne, come out in the alley and bring your camera!" We walked quietly a couple of house down - he pointed to this white thing in a tree in the neighbor's backyard. It suddenly reared up and gave a shriek! Turns out the other neighbors cockatoo has escaped and found this little tree quite comfortable. I thought he was lost, and went home to get some snacks for him, but when we returned his owner had a ladder and was trying to attract him down. Might have been one of these guys, a Moluccan cockatoo.
