Waiting for the ferry, we watched the rain pocked water. A sudden otter's head. The slide of its back. The flick of a tail. Again the head. The sound of the ferry approaching.
I feel like I was right there with Juliet watching the otter. Great example on Juliet's part of 'paying proper attention'. Mmmmm . . . delicious to the spirit.

I love the idea of a small stone - like a haiku it conjures up a single image - I really like that.

It's lovely, Juliet!
The combination of visuals and sound is a real delight. Otters are among my favorite animals. Who couldn't love them?
Wow! The otter comes right off the page/screen! But did it escape the ferry?!
that is a beautiful piece
Thanks for all your comments and yes, Gordon, the otter escaped the ferry and continued to play.
Thank you all for visiting Juliet's piece and leaving comments - I hope you might return, maybe even with your own small stones...
