Well today was very special. The wind was blowing and Dereck wanted to see if he could kite. So we packed up and went to the beach.......... see our stuff there on the beach? Very windy. I had to cover my camera bag. ugh....
Got to thinking that taking photos of twigs might be fun. The wind just isn't good for my camera. I took these with my Olympus that has already been thru the war and back. The 30D was tucked safely away in my bag.
Margie, I drew this heart for you. So it didn't just happen to be there. I scrawled it with my foot. Happy Heart Day to you.
So anyway, the highlight of the day were 2 manatees in the open water. Very unusual as they prefer calm warmer waters like the intracoastal water way or in salt water creeks or even brackish water. At first we thought it might have been a whale, but then we saw 2 of them swimming south. Lovers........... gently swimming together. So I found love again in a very odd place. The little turtle was following them. So cute!
This is a closer crop of the above photo.

So sweet of you to send Margie a heart. I like the pictures of the stingrays, definitely not something you see around this neck of the woods. LOL!!!
Too cool Jax baby! I love Manatees! And the color of that water looks so luscious...I am soooo looking forward to some sun and color!!
life's not really fair ya know!! I look out and see snow and dead trees then look at your pic's of this great sand and amazing blue water!!! We need some color here!!!
Very cool shots today... and I have to agree... when it's wet and cold here (not like up north).. it's just not fair that you are on the beach! :)
Geeze, your shots remind me how tired I am of ice/snow/cold. I need a Bahamavention (or at least a trip to Florida!) Nice shots, looks like you had fun!
I don't think I've ever seen manatees in open water! How cool! Man your beach shots make me miss FL!
