Monday River Otter Blogging

River Otters - Lake Lagunitas  2025

I had hiked up to the top of the stairs at the beginning of the trail around Lake Lagunitas - looking down I could see a group of river otters swimming around in the lake. I stopped and pointed the camera straight down and started taking photos, pushing the zoom lens out to its maximum length.

They must have noticed the photographer high above them . . . first one, then another one climbed up onto a fallen tree trunk and started staring up at me. I stared down. They stared up.

Eventually there were five otters on the log. I knew that they had better things to do so after taking some more photos I took my leave and resumed my walk.

I used an Olympus EM1II with a 14-150mm zoom lens.
