Lin - Oh I love the Manatees!! Great shots. Did you know they are being taken off the endangered list. SO STUPID!!! There are only about 6,000 of them left here in Florida. I wonder who made that darn decision!!! Grrrrr ..... A lot of wildlife folks and the general public think that is a HUGE mistake. I think the slowing of boats will be removed and more manatees will be injured and killed once again by boat motors. With only 6,000 left ... it won't take long to wipe them out. This boils my blood!
