Early Mist on Blue Spring Run

Spent some time in the early morning with the Manatees in the Run.
Several of the Blue Spring Manatees can be 'adopted' from the Save The Manatee Club.

More Manatees




Could not get enough of these gentle giants. Here they rest along the bank in the warm Run water before going back to the St John River to feed.



Blowing bubbles.

Found this alligator among the manatees in the Blue Springs Run

Blue Springs State Park, Florida


You can tell that 'winter' is nearly here as the manatees have started to gather at the warm springs along the St John River.

Here manatees enjoy the 'Hot Tub' known as Blue Springs Run,that stays a constant 72 deg.



Cow & calf.

Faver-Dykes State Park, Florida

On the east coast of Florida just south of St Augustine we found Faver-Dykes State Park.
A great place to enjoy the views and relax a little but we recommend you check out the Peach Cider at the fruit stand at the entrance.

Gas Station Facade

Found this disguised gas station on our back road travels.

Up in the Sky...


.. it's a bird, it's superman, No It's the shuttle!!!

We caught the track of the shuttle as it launched tonight 100 miles south of us. The squiggles are from camera movement, not the shuttle.
