I like your title. :-) Otters in the water are truly a joy to watch.

Yes, they are! I could watch them for a long time and not grow tired of it.
Ah so cute! Where did you spot them?
This one was at the High Desert Museum (where I volunteer) but I have seen them nearby in the Deschutes River. Yes, they are cute!
