Weather only good for…

Snails! If nothing else enjoys the current summer weather (i.e. incessant rain), these guys do. The garden is awash with them at the moment!

And as a little extra treat, I'm fairly sure that otters don't mind getting wet. These from last Thursday.

Camera note: snail shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100mm f/2.8L macro IS USM lens. The otters were photographed with the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens.

    San and me saw an otter in Squamish river last December. So, they don`t mind getting wet in cold water, too 😀

    Darko, I'd love to see wild otters. I wonder if otters stay in the water when it rains to keep dry. :confused:

    Well, I've seen European otters in the wild, but my photos don't exactly look as good as these ones :whistle:

    It really has become extraordinarily wet. If autumn starts now, I wonder if it will be snowing by October! :right:

    Adele, I've never seen wild otters. The BWC does make it easy though to get decent shots. At least the rain seems to have ceased. Maybe August will be ok.
