I just saw this story about sea otters in the Santa Cruz/Monterey area and had to reblog it. Before I moved to Mexico, my husband and I used to kayak in Elkhorn Slough, a small river that ran down to the ocean in the Monterey/Santa Cruz area. I had an amazing experience with sea otters in this area when I became separated from Bob. I was floating down the slough and noticed one sea otter, then two, until I was surrounded by a ring of sea otters that kept floating closer until they formed a circle around me. At least one was on her back with a baby on her stomach and suddenly they all started singing! It was the most surreal experience. They floated closer and closer and finally I broke the circle and paddled down the slough toward the ocean where Bob and friends were waiting for me. When I read this story, it all flooded back to memory.
Chris found this story about a California Otter stealing surface boards.

If you were to take a swim in the clear blue waters surrounding Santa Cruz, California, in recent days, you may have encountered an unlikely predator. Small and dark, whiskered and fluffy, she has developed a knack for theft and a taste for surfboards.Her name is 841. She is a sea otter.

Images of the skies between Dallas and Billings. I couldn’t resist sending this many to show the changes. Fascinating. This is about half of the photos I took! Love having a window seat and the lovely young woman I sat next to insisted on trading seats during the approach to Billings so I could see the view.
