Creature of the Sea
Our schedules were not in sync for Halloween so I asked the Yuens to bring Noah out tonight to the local beach. I figured that would be the perfect place to capture a photo of the famed Alameda Baby Teal Octopus. In keeping up with the sea theme they bought me dinner at Angel Fish, …
