We watched this sea otter for quite some time. He found several clams that he had a real tough time with. He would try to open some for a very long time - this is just a short clip of this persistent otter. He was well fed by the way!
Bet you thought that peg stuck out way too far for no reason.
Here's a regular picture:

A lovely wee brown Rat helping herself to some nuts and seeds. We called her Josephine. She was quite bold but never threatening.
New imagery from the Hubble Space Telescope is revealing details never before seen on Jupiter. Hubble’s new Jupiter maps were used to create this Ultra HD animation.
These new maps and spinning globes of Jupiter were made from observations performed with NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. They are the first products to come from a program to study the solar system’s outer planets – Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and, later, Saturn – each year using Hubble. The observations are designed to capture a broad range of features, including winds, clouds, storms and atmospheric chemistry. These annual studies will help current and future scientists see how these giant worlds change over time.
Scientists at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the University of California at Berkeley produced two global maps of Jupiter from the observations, which were made using Hubble’s high-performance Wide Field Camera 3.
The two maps represent nearly back-to-back rotations of the planet, making it possible to determine the speeds of Jupiter’s winds. Already, the images have revealed a rare wave just north of the planet’s equator and a unique filament-like feature in the core of the Great Red Spot that had not been seen previously.
In addition, the new images confirm that the Great Red Spot continues to shrink and become more circular, as it has been doing for years. The long axis of this characteristic storm is about 150 miles (240 kilometers) shorter now than it was in 2014. Recently, the storm had been shrinking at a faster-than-usual rate, but the latest change is consistent with the long-term trend.

First Time Under Sunshine SkyWay Bridge - JetSki Ride 2016 - IMRAN™
The first time I actually was on a marine vessel on the Gulf of Mexico was on September 11, 2016. I had taken my then few months old Yamaha WaveRunner jetski for a long ride all the way across Tampa Bay and into the Gulf. This was also my first time passing under the beautiful Sunshine SkyWay Bridge. It is hard to believe that thing is 430 feet tall and the clearance is 180 feet. I have to speed up posting photos and videos of my lifetime of adventures or I will need to live to be 180 years old at this rate!

Sorry for the "shaking".... I'm not the "tripod type" of a photographer... everything handheld... ;-)
Go here to view a still image from this event: bit.ly/H4JFEO
A magnetic filament of solar material erupted on the sun in late September, breaking the quiet conditions in a spectacular fashion. The 200,000 mile long filament ripped through the sun's atmosphere, the corona, leaving behind what looks like a canyon of fire. The glowing canyon traces the channel where magnetic fields held the filament aloft before the explosion. Visualizers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. combined two days of satellite data to create a short movie of this gigantic event on the sun.
In reality, the sun is not made of fire, but of something called plasma: particles so hot that their electrons have boiled off, creating a charged gas that is interwoven with magnetic fields.
These images were captured on Sept. 29-30, 2013, by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, which constantly observes the sun in a variety of wavelengths.
