    I'm glad you posted more of these. I love all the mist rising off the water. It makes it look so surreal and unworldly.

    Thank you for visiting my blog! I really like these shots a lot especially the last one with the mist. The manatees are really graceful in spite of their size.

    I love the underwater shots, especially the one showing a human standing on the bottom! Thanks for the visit!
    BTW, I also read your archived post and the fungi. Thanks for re-sharing your experiences with living through chemo.
    I have been finding fungi everywhere on my walks the last week or so and have been enjoying taking fungus portraits. When I get back to my blog, I think I'll post some, they're amazing.

    I must resist the urge to reach through the screen and give them a great big hug. Gawd, what incredible animals they are!

    WOW. Beautiful! The first is my favorite. You should send it to National Geographic.
