Eric Zetterholm was out photographed the Bald Eagles when he saw this North American River Otter running across the sand bar.

Eric took this photo a while ago of two River Otters at the river, one looking right at him!

Thanks to Eric for allowing me to share his photos with you here.

We had a nice big, wet storm come through yesterday. We had almost two inches in our rain gauge. Cold air came in behind the storm. We're such wimps here in Northern California that we think 45 degrees is way too cold!

Last night's sunset was quite beautiful. Here's my photo, take from our deck in Anchor Bay. Pretty dramatic, don't you think?!
