I have seen them before and yes, they are fast. <br />The otter most likely has decided that this neighborhood is too "trashy" for him and moved on.Katiejanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703557560000189704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711781124266002702.post-32163721500882897372011-03-20T09:19:39.510-04:002011-03-20T09:19:39.510-04:00Thanks, KJ, me too!

Jimmy Muffin didn't like it and wanted to butt the crow but couldn't figure out how to reach him so just kept showing like he was butting and dangerous. As soon as I stepped outside the crow flew off. Drawing the scene from memory escapes me. I think you did an excellent job!Timareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769047120660859743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711781124266002702.post-33686779560959953432011-03-18T19:20:23.462-04:002011-03-18T19:20:23.462-04:00...such beautiful moments you capture in your sket......such beautiful moments you capture in your sketchbook.
