Manatees at Linda Pedersen Park



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.
