Sea Otter preening itself in Morro Bay Feb. 21, 2007 - taken from a kayak on a calm day... this critter got very comfortable with us... so we did not molest it by drifting fairly close.  In fact, I discarded many shots because the focus range was set for &gt;=6.5 meters, and I was closer than that.
