Manatee Mania!

"They looked like stepping stones in the water!" exclaimed Helen. We were hanging out at our usual watering hole on a weekend night and one of the regulars told us how she went to see the manatees as the Tampa Electric Company power plant. If you click on the picture below and look closely at the shadows in the water you'll see what she means. Rich and I hopped in the car and took a visit in for ourselves. It being a particularly cold winter, more than 100 hundred manatees have been taking advantage of the warmed waters provided by the power plant. The picture above shows a mama and her baby gawking at the humans. They just hung there in the water looking up at us on the platform.
