Emmitt Otter and his Jugband Christmas..

This is what I thought when I saw these two adorable otters playing in the lake in Meredith Bay. I stood there for almost an hour watching them swim and fish and just enjoying themselves. I have never seen otters in the lake before, so it was a real treat for me!
When I first saw one, I thought it looked like a baby seal! I couldn't figure out what it was. It was when the other one appeared that I realized they were otters.
They were kind enough to stop what they were doing and pose for this picture!
