That's really cool! I've never seen a manatee from above, only ever from in the water in a video like.
Congratulations! Nice spot!

Awesome photos, James.
It is Florida Mark. I can always depend on you to "flip flop" the humor and the nature.
Wow someone left their inner-soles in the pool but don't tell them off because they are at least size 500. :)
Awesome, James! Such beautiful animals, and great photos of them :)
