Motionless he must have felt invisible

Someone counted 40 manatees around this pool
The fish also realized the benefits of protected waters
Fish flock together, too
The spring is actually 130' down the blue crevice
A deep spring yields great colors
On the boardwalk
Looking up the Blue Springs inlet
A young alligator across the river
Looking well fed
Turtles hang out together
Another gator waiting for lunch
Venturing around Hontoon Island
The armada explores
One of two owls keeping tabs on us
Great Blue Heron
Blue skies, calm waters
We didn't go farther on this channel
Young blue heron
Little kingfisher
Looking for lunch
Wending back to the channel
We had the back water to ourselves
The coloring of the turtle's head in the water is excellent camoflauge
Nice color in the reflections
Turtle
The reflection is deeper blue than the sky
Flying down the river
Blending in with the tree
Ibis!
A peace loving ibis
Egret watching
A family rests
Impressive flipper
Starting into a logging canal
Heavy overgrowth
Emergent kayaks
The race is on!
Serenity
Exploring
Just sittin'
A reason not to go for a walk
A wider canal
Dark water
Paddling
Manatees flock to Vicki
A nose out of water
Satisfying an itch
The manatees converged on the ladies
Noses check out the boaters
Manatees converge
Sharon gets a visitor
Vicki acquiesces to scratch
Using the boat for a scratch
Tipping became possible
