A short timeline cleanse 🦦

On a recent volunteer shift, I spotted this raft of sea otters swimming my way.

No disturbance, shot w/1200mm equiv lens from a pier. But, when kayaking, if otters swim or dive to evade you, you're too close. ⬇️

Some gentle deer medicine just outside our window today — a mama and her two fawns passing through.

Outside our kitchen window today … love the casual pose. (She visited with her two growing fawns, clearing the fresh greens sprouting after the rains.)

I came upon this group of striped shore crabs (Pachygrapsus crassipes) foraging along rocks near the Golden Gate. Their coloration is vivid and lovely.

A bit farther south in Elkhorn Slough/Moss Landing, there's an interesting relationship between striped shore crabs and sea otters:
