The other day...

The other day, I was waiting for my daughter to finish her Korean class at the local church.  Having an hour to kill, I decided to finish my daily walking time by walking south for half an hour, and then back to the church.  Walking by a pond , I heard a large ka-plunk, like a rock being thrown into the water.  Looking in, I saw something swimming underwater, and a moment later, it surfaced: an otter!

How cool was that ?  I've never seen one in the wild before...  I waited for it to reappear, but alas, such was not to be.
