    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    These were right at sunset I was leaving the area when I saw them heading down the creek I backed up and waited for them. I had been shooting geese and had my ISO turned down. They came right up to the end of the creek at the road within 15ft of me. AS usual when you get focused on the target and forget the settings most of my first shots had motion blur11doh.gif

    Had a great pose with one otter stacked right on top of the other it was in the shadow of the levee
    Then we followed them back up the creek where I got the shots posted. There were 5 otters total but they were never all up at the same time in the same place
    They are very entertaining to watch.
    Thank you for the nice comments
