Blue Spring State Park is a manatee refuge located in Orange City, Florida. It consists of more than 2,600 acres including a spring on the St Johns River. It is absolutely gorgeous and a great place to walk around with a camera. Manatees are abundant in the winter and it is quite easy to get good shots of single manatees as well as mothers with their babes on their backs.
I came across this guy on the fishing pier in Dania Beach, Fl. He was a very cooperative model. He sat nice and still and let me take picture after picture of him.
