Pairs ~ Artist's Play Room #32


The octopus (play /ˈɒktəpʊs/; plural: octopusesoctopi, or octopodes) is a cephalopod mollusc of the order Octopoda. Octopuses have two eyes and four pairs of arms and, like other cephalopods, they are bilaterally symmetric.

And I just thought they were funky!!!




What DO these two photographs have in common?!

And does this one BElow make any sense to you?!


I have to say that somedays it feels very much that someone has taken my brain out for a washing and left me a strange "loaner" to get me by...

Such is the case with Artist's Play Room #32...

Those sure are funky octopus...interesting info too.

The common element in the next two photos...two sentient beings on walkabout heading in the same direction. ;)

A little confused by the bottom one but I see two fish kissing. lol

Have a great day! :)

The octopuses are very funky :0)
The two pictures are 'Turning Tail' ?
The fishes are Kissing Gouramies ?
BE well with your washed out brain, it serves you well :0)

Love the funky octopus pair. All I can see in common is the walking away theme, I'm boring. Love the fish, I see 8 of them, some kissing and some not talking :)
Excellent load of pairs.

I love your octopuses, Currie. They remind me of Eric Carle's work, who is one of my favorite children's books illustrator. Blessings!

Okay, I love the colorful octopi! But I had no clue how the first two pictures related. The overlapping pairs of fishes I really like!

I am sorry I am so late commenting, I just posted my entry this morning!
