The Final Day: Part 2

After lunch on the way to the pool we were called to the dock behind the hotel to check out the glorious sea cow. I want to make this very clear. We didn't harass this animal. It always had a way out, there were only 2 or 3 people in the water watching it from a safe distance. The close ups you see are because he/she came to me, not because I got all up in it's face. I like animals, and I'm not gonna freak one out to "maybe" get a shot. So if you're gonna get preachy in comments, please remember chances are I respect this animal more, than I ever will you.

Now that I'm off my soap box, this manatee was the subject of two of the best pictures I feel I've ever taken (the first two).

Enjoy!!
