Manatee, Blue Springs State Park, Florida by dawnamoorephoto

Manatees are sometimes called sea cows, and their languid pace lends merit to the comparison. However, despite their massive bulk, they are graceful swimmers in coastal waters and rivers. Powering themselves with their strong tails, manatees typically glide along at 5 miles (8 kilometers) an hour but can swim 15 miles (24 kilometers) an hour in short bursts. (natgeo.com)
Blue Springs Reflections, Blue Springs State Park, Florida by dawnamoorephoto

Blue Spring is a first magnitude spring on the St. Johns River. Gold Rush prospector turned orange-grower Louis Thursby purchased Blue Spring in 1856. Before the railroad rolled through in the 1880s, Thursbys Blue Spring Landing was a hotbed of steamboat activity, shipping tourists and goods to Jacksonville and beyond. Mrs. Thursby was Orange City’s first postmistress. In 1971, ‘The Forgotten Mermaids’ episode of the Underwater World of Jacques Cousteau was filmed here. The documentary brought attention to the manatee and the importance of Blue Spring as a winter refuge, greatly influencing the state’s decision to purchase the land. (floridastateparks.org)

During an expedition into the Amazon we came across these very curious Pink Dolphins. It was very hard to photograph them, as Rio negro is as you would suspect almost black, and you only see what a few feet in front of you.
