If you’re ever in Monterey, CA, take a little side trip to Moss Landing. The Elkhorn Slough Safari will delight and surprise any nature lover. We saw an adorable sea otter munching a cormorant like he was at Buffalo Wild Wings. #nature #birds #monterey #elkhornslough

I #exposed half of this #roll of #Kodak #Ektar100 #Film like 6-7yrs ago & just finished it today at #ElkhornSlough #California. At my pace, might be a few more years to develop it haha. Not sure if it's still good... or what's even on it haha.

The clouds gave me such even light, and added a blue-grey tone to these shots that I really like. #elkhornslough #monterey #americanavocet #naturephotography
👏 Fortunately, there have been no reported #seaotter deaths in #California's #ElkhornSlough following the recent battery fire. However, researchers are closely monitoring their behavior.
