Periscope DOWN: Can't Get a Moments Rest

Description:
"Look Mom, Mom, are you watching? Look, I'm a fish!"During manatee season, which lasts from sometime in November until March or April, the sanctuary of Blue Springs Run is strictly off limits. This year, according to Save the Manatee, the last sightings in the spring run were around 28 March. Blue Springs has been open since, but doesn't allow any swimming when manatees are present.Luckily, the run is open for canoes and kayaks in the mornings, and we had set out to explore the run, from above and below.We spotted this mom and calf towards the middle of the run first thing in the morning.Considering I got these shots from the boat, and the clarity wasn't that great, I'm certainly not complaining.Blue Springs State ParkOrange City, Volusia County Florida, USA Olympus OM-D E-M514-42mm II LensPT-EP08 Underwater Housing, PPO-EP01 Lens Port & 14-42mm Zoom Gear
