As I was walking down the trail I saw a head pop up in the creek.
All of a sudden 3 more heads pop up past me. They were heading the other way.
I turned around and headed that way also. I walked along the bank of the creek and every other minute a head would pop up. One of them looked right at me.
They started climbing up on the rocks in front of me.
They seemed curious as to who I was. I backed up to get this picture in and I did not want them to get too close.
I was taking pictures right into the sun so it was not ideal but they were so cute.
What a face!
They stayed on the rocks for a few minutes looking around and then all 4 of them slid back into the water and headed down the creek. The end of the creek was close by and they went into the tunnel under the street.
I was pretty excited to see them at Largo Nature Preserve. There’s not much there at this small park but I had heard several times that otters had been sighted there. I went totally not expecting to see them and there they were. Swimming right beside me on the trail in the first 30 minutes I was there. They came and went fast though. I’ll be back to see them again.
Awesome encounter!
They are such amazing creatures, that has to be such a great feeling.
Like you title and these animals are lovely. Have a lovely weekend.
They are so cute!
I am SO jealous, Dina. I’ve only seen otters once, sea otters in California, from a distance. I’d love to see these cute critters in person.

They do have adorable faces! Great sighting and photos! Thank you for linking up, enjoy your weekend!
Do you ever take left over old bread? I would be feeding the animals all the time. This lady at work brings me 2 to 3 loafs every so often and I’ll
go feed the Canadian geese and a few ducks
Wow! Fantastic encounter! And such fantastic photos! This would thrill me to death…I LOVE otters!
