Had problems I guess in the Weather post above, she was so cute I wanted ya'll to see her. They come real regular, Sundays usually between 10-2... thats what my neighbors tell me, hope they come back soon. It was a great break from work the other day, they came on a Wednesday.  I squealed like a kid, in the 10 years I have lived in The Keys I have only seen them once, now they come to my backyard. Oh cool!!!!!     :-)

Holly with her big brown eyes:

Here below she was trying to make the water go in her mouth, plus she didnt like her splashing in her face.   She put her flipper up to focas the water to her mouth.   So cute huh?    My hose accidently fell in the water when I was washing off he dock....;-)  ;-)  cough cough

MERRY CHRISTMAS from my warm home to all of you.

I can understand you emotion and excitement in seeing Holly. I would love to witness her firsthand!! My favorite part of our Charleston vacation this summer was seeing the dolphins at play (we went on a dolphin tour). I just felt so tranquil and awed when I saw them jumping out of the water. Merry Christmas!

I got to see a manatee a couple of years ago while on Sanibel Island (well technically we were on Captiva Island at the time).  They are such fascinating creatures.  Whenever asked what animal best describes me I always say a manatee; we are both big, slow and love the tropics!

You are so blessed to live in such a beautiful area.

    OH, THE HUGE MANATEES!

    Sorry, couldn't resist, bad joke.

    That is way cool that they are coming to visit you for the first time!  Thanks so much for the pics.  No pics ever load when I'm on my work computer, so I was assuming that was the problem.  I'm just happy when mediadomain isn't blocked, which it is sometimes.

    Can't say that they are 'cute', though.  I do think it's sad how the boat motors are causing their numbers to decrease...however, there is a Florida Manatee Watch webpage and more manatees have been seen than usual in northern Florida, like the Jacksonville area.  So that's good.  They truly are gentle (albeit homely) giants.

  • Oh, it must be The Fark LOL, thats the first thing I thought of when I saw them. LOL So awful, the bad pun. Back to the animals...the neatest thing about these guys was that there were NO prop scars on them. I was so happy to see that. eom Laura

    OMG OMG OMG!!!  Laura, you are so LUCKY!  I love manatees, but have never seen one in person, since they don't hang out in the Pacific.  Holly is ADORABLE!  Thanks for sharing the pics with us.

    OH! How sweet!!! I work at an institute of oceanography (located on a river close to the ocean) and one day last spring a little manatee family came up to our docks... work stopped for a full 30+ minutes while everyone headed down to the docks with cameras in hand... it was so cool to see them there! Manatees are such gentle creatures, I just love them! Thanks for sharing!!
