Spent the morning with this female yesterday at the neighborhood pond.  She napped on this log and would occasionally wake for a quick look around.

Hello David

WoW, great capture here ! these guys are difficult to get because they are quite shy and elusive. Beautiful light here, sharp and detailed.
One of the very best Otter captures I have seen !
