Merry Christmas from Cedar Key and Crystal River

Began Christmas before dawn, in Crystal River

 Manatees packed in to Idiot's Delight Spring

 My underwater housing was not properly sealed.  Water got in the camera. So, that was the end of my Crystal River Christmas.  Other than driving around looking for a place to buy a camera.  Wound up with two cheap ones. One, a underwater disposable. Which I don't think I ever used.  In the seat pocket to this day.  The other, I think I took some photos, but have no idea where they are. Or, the camera.

2 PM, back to Cedar Key

In a Christmas miracle, after several hours, the camera recovered

Dolphin

Buffleheads

Stocking stuffers

Spoonbills kinda look like Santa
