Metazoan

The photo is a front-on view of a very large giant cuttlefish – the biggest I’ve seen in years, perhaps ever.

This is the second in a series of posts about brains, rhythms, fields, and consciousness.

In the book Metazoa, I connect the evolution of subjective experience (consciousness, in a very broad sense) to some ideas about nervous system activity.

I often search for Glossy Black Cockatoos.

Day 3 of the Fly Point dive trip.

The day after the “battleship” octopus I went out at Fly Point again.

A few photographs of a great octopus, taken yesterday at Fly Point (Australia) – in the shallows at the end of the dive, in dappled glare, and with sand, weed, and everything else flying round.

Round this time of the year, Yellowtail Black Cockatoos come through more often than usual, sometimes in large numbers.

Last week I returned to Fly Point, Nelson Bay, for a few days of diving.

Yesterday on a walk near Lake Tahoe (around where Alpine Meadows meets the Granite Chief Wilderness), I came across two coyotes.
