JUST LOVE NATURE
HERE'S THE LINK HAND-IN-HAND
that's really cute but do wanna know how romantic sea otters really are? i took these pictures in santa cruz last year and i thought this otter had a tumor on its nose.
i was talking to a marine biologist in monterey this year who was tracking sea otters by lovers point and she told me the male sea otter bites the female on the nose while mating and its not uncommon that part of the nose gets ripped off.
so don't let the foreplay fool you

thanx Mr. Dev! i took those right after sun-up from the santa cruz wharf, waiting for the swimmers to hit the water at the sentinel triathlon (they swim around the wharf).
here are some fresh water otters that i shot at the SF zoo on new year's day. i have this pair framed and hanging on my wall.
i really do like otters

Those are so clear! Looks like something out of a National Geographic.
What lens or lenses are you using,... and with what camera? D-80?
oh I have a cousin in Santa Cruz,... she went to school there and never left.

You gotta love sea otters.
You see my wife's nose.

thanx again Mr. Dev........
the first two were taken with the canon 20d + 70-200L f4 + 1.4 teleconverter.
the second two were taken in very poor light at hi iso with the canon 5d.
the first of the second pair was taken with the 70-200L f4 IS (a remarkable new lens!) and the second was taken with the 300L f4 IS.
