Otter On The Rocks

On Saturday, Dolores and I visited the Nature Center at Maymont in Richmond, Virginia.  Maymont is definitely a destination to include on your list whenyou visit the area. The 100 acre estate and park offers gardens, wildlife exhibits, and a Children's Farm as well as the wonderful Nature Center.  Tours of the Maymont House Museum are also available.  www.maymont.org

If you have photographs from your favorite places, please share them in the comments for this post.

Most of us never get to see an Otter in Virginia. This one is a resident of the Nature Center at Maymont in Richmond, Virginia. If you plan to visit the area, include Maymont on your list of locations to see. www.maymont.org  Canon PowerShot G11 Camera. Photograph by Roy Kelley.

The antics of otters are so entertaining that I could sit and watch them all day!  Neat photo, Roy!

Otters are so neat! You got a good photo through the glass. Isn't it fun to window stare and see them up close!

Gotta love the otters...  Sometimes you see them, and they are just sleeping...

Good Monday morning to all.  Dolores and I took a long weekend to celebrate her birthday.  We enjoyed our visit to the nature center at Maymont.

 Life is good!

That otter looks like he was asked to pose for that picture. Enjoy the day!

Wayne:  I also got some underwater shots of the otter. They move so quickly that it is hard to get good shots unless they are sunning themselves on the rocks.

 Life is good!
