    beautiful shots. I like the moment you caught with the crab being flung into the gulls gullet! The little thing must have momentarily thought "I'm Free!" Just to be gobbled up whole!

    Wonderful pictures I really love otters but the others are very nice. I especially like the pelican photo. Great workclap.gif

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

    love 'em iloveyou.gif

    the 1st otter could be a post card - so nice that s/he "posed" for you. The gull tossing the crab is really cool. Love the light and reflection of the shore bird. Looks like a fun day on the coast.

    Thanks, that shot was captured right before the sun went down, would have been great if the water had been perfectly still
