Maggie and Manatees

You might think this is a picture of my sweet Maggie, but not true.  While she was on the seawall looking adorable and I grabbed my camera, it wasn’t for a photo of her, but what was going on behind her.  Look closely and you will see small ripples.  That is a manatee.

 We’ve had many manatees in the canal this spring.  But, as I’ve posted before, manatees do not photo well, they just look like big gray rocks.

I usually notice them first because of the small ripples, a snout sticking out, or a large figure eight shape just under the water.

This is actually a picture of two manatees!
The canal is a very popular manatee place. They come back here to have babies and make babies!

Still look like an odd gray rock formation!
