"....I otter be on my way."

Southern Vancouver Island

Mama's break on the docks was about over, her three pups were waiting for her in the water, and she seemed anxious to check on their current level of mischief. Sea Otter facts: Sea otters have front paws shaped like mittens. Although their front paws are covered with fur, they have rough pads and claws to hold their prey better. Like cat claws, sea otters’ claws can be pulled back into their paws. The front paws of a sea otter are very different from the paws on the hind legs. The paws on a sea otter’s hind feet are webbed. This helps the sea otter swim faster. ~ ThinkQuest

That paw is unusual! She looks as though she is enjoying the sun. Nice details. A good shot!
