Description This is a series of otters I took today. These are natural shots taken on the Northern Coast of Calif. I had an absolute blast with a pair of otters that chose to entertain me for what seemed like forever. Well, until they saw me and went under...

I will be posting and other shots will be posted on my web site. [link]

Please note that although there is a lovely Aquarium in my area, these shots were taken in the wild

Thank you very much! They are such humorous animals! I was blessed that some came in close to shore so I could get a couple shots! I do not believe it is their norm.

I love otters. They have such personality! They're the clowns of the sea.

...this one looks like he just heard something shocking. ^^

Oh I love them too.. seems like it was the year for them for me. Sadly I think it is due to the global warming. I have never seen so many interactive and close to shore otters. Great for photography, but I am not to certain about how good it is for our habitat.

Thank you, this is one of my faves. They really hammed it up. I read in my local news yesterday that we have an overabundance of them in the bay right now...time for me to pack up the tripod and hunt them down!

Thank you so much for looking and taking the time to comment.

I use a Sony A-100 and used the 70-300 on this. Sad thing is I was on a lunch trip and wasn't thinking, so left tripod at home...I thought of it about 15minutes away..debated on grabbing it..thought..nahhhh it's lunch..Then POW I find these lovely little otters playing around.. and beating myself in the head without my tripod!! I went back to the spot days later, with my tripod..but they the cute little guys were gone.

I take my tripod with me everywhere!
Thank you for the

Haha. That happened to me when I visited Point Lobos with my 70-300mm. Where did you see this little guy?

It was a pair actually. I have a set of hmm 6 (?) images of them in my gallery. I found them cuddling each other in Moss Landing.
