Though nearly 9 a.m.,
Karl and I had the park to ourselves. The forecast predicted that the morning
coolness would give way to temperatures into the 70s, but it hadn’t started
yet. The cool crispness of the air made the colors pop as the sun continued its
rise.
Karl started to see
some activity from the manatees resting on bottom of the creek, just in the
edge of the swimming area, and called me over. We stood and watched them for
some time. They started swimming, surfacing for air, and tumbling over one
another. I saw a smaller, younger one surface once or twice, but not high
enough for a good shot. Or maybe I just enjoyed watching so much I didn’t have
the camera ready.
Our love of nature and
hiking led us to becoming master naturalists, and to focusing our initial foray
into the photography business primarily on nature subjects. Even though the
business expanded beyond nature, we still spend a lot of our time in the
natural areas of Florida and other places we travel.
