A good day for pictures

We went to the manatee observation tower again today because it was another cold day (only got up to 65 today). We were told there was a mama manatee and two babies in the water just below the tower. We think the was the mama. If you look really close there is a smaller shadow just below and a bit behind her. Just after she went down the baby came up.
The baby manatee. They are 10 feet long and over 1000 pounds. They are very slow moving and really facinating to watch.

When I went to take this crane's picture, it decided to fly off.


There is a jetty between the river and the ocean in the distance. There were pelicans gliding in the wind all over this area. After watching a few minutes we discovered they were fishing.




Getting ready to dive . . . We're having a great time discovering this area. When we go west of our campsite, we get into farm land. We drove out yesterday and picked strawberries! They are so much better right off the vine. The tomatoes aren't quite ready yet, but the orange harvest is in full swing all around us.
