Yeh yeh, Shoehorn beep beep but what a cool Otter. *grin*

Getting to grips with the new 5D2 it's a wolf in sheeps clothing alright.


Thank you so much for the BLUE, This little guy had a crazy 5 minutes and lucky for me I happened to be standing a few feet away at the time. It touched a 7 for a while and I thought maybe it might get top 3 but never expected a ribbon

THANK YOU

I've put this on StumbleUpon the day it arrived in my mailbox and though it's amazing that it has been stumble more than 120k ever since, it is no wonder as it's just one of the most cute animal pictures I ever saw.

That is so Otterly fantastic! Yeah poor humour, but a great image! Nothing beats capturing animals in the wild. Even better, when strange posing occurs.
Great timing on the shot too! Congratulations on the Blue!

How did you get him to pose, enticed him with, food I bet. Or threatened to eat his other/otter friends. Poor thing he's praying for you to not shoot him with your canon.
:-) I shot 3 meerkats for the 3's challenge, then forgot to enter them last weekend.
