Otters

A very short glimpse of a Mother and Baby Otter that swam up to check us out. Sorry they are not too close but the Otters control how close they are..they came up to us and checked us out :0)



You can tell we are quite a distance away as Sea otters to my amazement are huge ...up to 5 feet in length!

General information about Northern Sea Otter in Alaska such as description, life history, range, habitat and more.

from an old gravestone

If you hold your nose to the Grindstone
and you leave it there long enough,
Then soon you'll say
there's no such things
as brooks that babble
and birds that sing,
these three will all your world compose,
just you, the stone and your poor old nose.

(from memory so may not be word perfect)
