Jensen Pt, Burton, Vashon, WA, USA (Google, OSM)

Description

Octopus was caught by a star. Second and third photos show suckers in the upper left of the photo, and slight changes in how open some are is evident. The last photo shows various dots in lines that I assume indicate where arms were extending up on the left and out past the star on the right.

Star is in this observation: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/103483377
