Protective Mother
This was taken near Morro Rock looking back towards the harbor area. There was over a dozen sea otters lounging in the kelp, but this mom stood out. Her young one was floating around on its back without a care in the world, but the tide kept moving it away from the group. Mom would come after junior and bring him back gently. It looked the little one was asleep on its back and it wasn't moving very much. Mom was doing a nice job of watching over him and letting him continue his nap.
