Alert River Otter Sliding on Seattle Mudbank in on a wind-scoured ridge near Georgetown, Seattle

Alert River Otter Sliding on Seattle Mudbank

by Maeve Giles

Reflected sunlight from the water surface illuminates a river otter sliding down a wet, gray mudbank on a wind-scoured ridge near Georgetown. The animal's sleek, dark fur clings to its body as it moves forward. Strands of dried grass bend sharply across the foreground, whipped by the wind against the earth. The mud surface glistens with moisture under the bright sky. Behind the otter, the ridge rises steeply, covered in sparse late summer vegetation. The low angle view places the rough soil texture in the immediate foreground. A wet track marks the path where the otter pushed off, ending at the edge of the muddy slope.
