A Great Catch

Description

I was walking along the beach, which was different than other beaches I have been on, sandstone and rocks embedded as if it was cement. There were lots of large openings in the rocks and that meant lots of tidal pools, and they were full of life. I was busy using my macro lens on all the sea anemones, when I heard some splashing going on behind me. I turned and saw a flash of white and thought it was a Martin along the rocks. I grabbed my other camera with my telephoto lens and when I got a better look, I found there to be two River Otters along the rocks, and one had a really impressive Flounder. The fog was pretty thick, but I was able to get some shots of the Otter as it was eating the Flounder. The sound carried over my way and I could hear it crunching away on the bones, as if it were right beside me.
