Everglades National Park, Florida, USA. In a Carolina Skiff, we headed up the Turner River from Everglades City (a misnamed community). This small, flat-bottomed boat effectively brought us to very shallow and narrow portions of the river. Along the entire coastline, mangrove trees provided the protection needed for many birds, and food for manatees. In this wider section of the winding river, several manatees were seen coming up for a breath of air. Two of the four of us on the boat were interested in photographing, and the boat captain was very obliging.

You captured the moment so well! I like the composition, and the trees, and roots and branches really grabbed my attention over on the left.

Beware of the gators, Thad, ☺ .
Your fine capture gives a very good impression of this environment.

Well done, my friend.

A lovely shot of the river with the thickly grown banks and a nice looking sky Thad.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.

Very cool! I stayed in Everglades city for a few days back in 2003. It was real nice, very touristy though. The the town is very clean and modern, nothing what you would expect for being out in the middle of no where more or less. I would love to go back sometime.
