You’ve seen the dolphins…. time to meet a couple of other critters.
Loved petting the sting rays! Felt just like satin under my finger tips. Some were more gregarious than others, repeatedly approaching when they saw my hand in the water and gliding just underneath. 🙂
One of my favorite pictures from the afternoon...
See the bubble near the top that he blew for me? 🙂
Two of several otter guests. Tourist noise could not compete with their naptime. These will hopefully be rehabilitated and returned to their natural habitat. 🙂
Doesn't get much cozier than this! Later, I saw him fully covered with the blankie, except for his whiskered head peeking out.
Time for some fresh air. I went and sat outside, enjoying the view of the quiet marina, and the City of Clearwater beyond.

I love petting sting rays…so soft. I even got to feed one at Monterey, on my first trip there. 🙂 Otters sleep just like kitties! How cute!
Oh, what a treat that must be to pat a sting ray! Thank you for sharing the photos!
Very nice…and interesting, thank you April for sharing~!
Sooo cool those stingrays! I once got the privilege to scuba with them at Stingray City on a holiday in the Cayman Islands a long time ago. I’ve loved those animals ever since. Thanks for the memory. 🙂
