As I was un-admiring the creamsicle bloom just south of Emma Schmitz View Point, I spotted this fast approaching critter heading north along the beach.

Sure enough, the River Otter headed right for the muck! (Noctiluca blooms are not harmful to pets, us or wildlife)

…and onto the beach for a stroll

“What?? wanna watch me roll on my back & have a good ol’ belly scratch?”
