The day before last
Time to begin the journey home and drive across the island to our last overnight stop at Nanaimo. But I’d rather go out with a bang, so I got another chance to photograph some aquatic life at Pacific Rim, and then to top it all off, we had a lucky encounter with an otter at Kennedy Lake. It was as wonderful as it was unexpected! The otter stayed a bit too far for my 300mm lens but I really don’t care. Would you believe that I’m more thrilled about these long shots at an otter than the close shots of a grizzly bear? Funny how it goes sometimes.
