Anchored for a nap - a photo on Flickriver

Anchored for a nap

            When the Mrs. and I lived in Alaska back in the 1980’s, I fell in love with sea otters. There were areas on Adak where you could get pretty close to them and watch their antics…always good for a laugh while enjoying lunch. 

Watching the family units hold paws to stay together and even wrapping themselves in bull kelp to keep from floating away while sleeping is such a blessing to witness.

In this shot, an adult gladly displays the left arm wrap technique for the camera.

Taken just offshore from Homer Alaska in Kachemak Bay on 24 July, 2024.
