Fish Chomp!
Does that long tail seem heavy at the base? There are lots of teeth in this bite. Webbed hands hold the fish just as we would. Not your ordinary rolly poly dark brown otter,... Part of a family of five or six.
Tough Guys?
These are not your ordinary playful chocolate smiley otter. They seem to be a heavy duty version of otter. I closed in to these while they were eating a fish on the rocks at Kin Beach in Comox.
Teeth Power
Junior shares a secret with Mom, left corner, while a brother gnaws on fish above and big sister gives me the quizzical look. Notice the long skinny and powerful tail. Quite thick at the base though.
Mom & Kids?
These otter are larger than the more familiar chocolate brown sea otter. This family was finishing up fish dinner when I inched my way along the beach rocks.

Spotted SandPiper..
Looked this one up and aside from the winter white breast in July, it does seem to check as a spotted sandpiper. Seems to like that black beach oooze.
Spotted Sandpiper ?
My good luck. Arrived early. Looked over a steep concrete shore wall and suddenly I had a ' bird's eye ' view. My good shot for the day ...early am. Odd,...greenish legs and a winter breast in July?

Star Curiosity
This one seems a little different. Do you recall this star fish. First one like this for me. Maybe I just have not been paying attention.

Eagle Eyes
These two were just looking around and not much else. Finally they few a few circles and then left for Portugese Joe's Fish processing place further up this [ Dyke ] road.

Weed on Post
The fickle winds of fate and fortune blew a seed onto this old post in the ocean. Seems to be enjoying life. No tree could choke out the sunlight.

Mom or Sitter?
This Merganser was in charge of 22 young ones. Baby sitter or Mom? I read where they do look after each others kids. This one looks like a fairly young gal.
Butterfly..Swallowtail?
This yellow beauty had important business elsewhere and only stopped for two shots. Not the best POV but not so bad either.

Courtenay Visit? Old House Restaurant / Hotel
Old House Restaurant / Hotel is somewhat Deluxe. You could also stay at the Anco Motel. Just a block away. Very central and moderately priced. at Cliffe Ave and 19th street.
Pansy Winner
In a big planter of dozens of pansy in the Old House Restaurant / Hotel gardens. This one had the most interesting design and colours. Visiting Courtenay / Comox?. This hotel is central and deluxe. Also central is the Anco Motel and that is quite reasonable in cost..

Trilim Youngster
A delicate and pretty bloom but not much colour. An older trillium has much more colour as it darkens with age.
Wagon Relic
This old wagon will probably be there the next time you visit Deep Bay, Vancouver Island. All four wheels are anchored down by chains.
Tree Lotto
Odd place to start a tree, yet when the mossy branch snaps, great things may grow from the mud below.
Bloom One
Not sure what this is, thus the safe Bloom One. Found near Dove Creek behind the fair grounds in the same area as Trilliums.
