There Otter Be a Law...

...that when you get a great opportunity to shoot these guys there should be some light! Out of 50 or so frames this was the best.:cry They don't hold still for a second...let alone trying to get three in one shot.



These guys were having way to much fun romping and rolling in the sand. They were a pleasure to watch. Even brought a grin to this old curmudgeon's face!

Right on, Ric!!

Now that's something you don't see every day.

Cute little buggers.

Sweeet! Nice one! I hear ya about the light! :cry It always happens when you finally get a chance to shoot something that is pretty unusual!

oh yeah! now that is something I'd love to come across. You didn't shoot that up this way did you Ric?

Hey, I know the feeling. I have been hawks all over the place lately. Many of them perched no more than 20 yards from me but it is either too late or too early in the day or I don't have my camera! It just makes me want to :splat!

You'll get some better captures another day. At present, you have about 50 more good or bad shots of otters than I do.

Right in your backyard, Dave! (Necedah):D

I still have frames to develop from there.

Great catch. Watching these guys would certainly bring a smile to this old guy's face as well. It must have been a hoot.

I think the law states the when the best photo opportunity comes along there shall be no light, and the subject must wiggle and squirm as much as possibe . As a law abiding citizen, you did an outstanding job Ric.

I knew when I took the shots that my chances of getting decent ones were not very good. At least I have something to remember the experience by.

Good capture of a difficult subject Ric.
