Otters -- Look it's the 'Otter One' ;)

[Seeking Solace]

I love the cuddly comfort in this one. It's almost like he is self-soothing.

I read that otters hold hands when they sleep so they don't drift apart.  I love otters and this picture.

Wonderful...as in wonder-full.

I consider eagle as my totem animal, but otters are also significant to me. I forget this too often...so thanks for the image; it's one I needed today--a reminder of life's playful side. I've had several times when the image(s) of otters have played a role in my life, summarized in these lines from a favourite song:

I go down to the windy sea
And the little grey seal will play with me;
Slide on the rock and dive in the bay
And sleep on the ledge at night.

     Sun on the hill, come go with me,
     My days have all been free.
     The pipes come laughing down the wind
     And that's the way I go, That's the way for me.
