Artist Reply: Nancy...I couldn't believe I had the privilege to capture that shot. Yesterday, I was at Morro Rock in Morro Bay, CA. This was at the inlet of the bay. I went down the rocks from the side of the road to watch a couple of otters playing a ways off. Thirty minutes later, I had four adult and two young otters ten feet in front of me...it was incredible. I have watched them often from there, but they have never come that close to me before.
