On the St. Johns River at 8:24 AM
Manatees in Blue Spring Run
Unlike Saturday, no manatee came out to visit me.
Unlike Saturday, the local bald eagle, was not perched near Blue Spring RunInto Snake Creek
In all my years kayaking Snake Creek, I only recall seeing one manatee.
Until today
3, maybe 4 in the center of the Creek
2 more, grazing on the shore.
Saw the snail kite again. Yesterday was the first time I ever saw one
More manatees
I stopped.
The snail kite
The snail kite was just before the Hontoon Dead River
Not the canal. I backed out
Into the northernmost canal
Canon Elph camera died after this photo. Remaining on the water photos are with the Olympus TG5.
Landed at 12:52. Last two pics are with the backup Canon Elph. Only 8x zoom, instead of 12.
I do not recall ever seeing so many cars at the French Ave Ramp. Christmas Week, and all 3 Florida teams out of the playoff hunt. Bill, of Wekiva Outfitters told me he has seen more.
Line waiting to get into Blue Springs. If they were coming to see manatees, they may have been disappointed. 80 degrees.
My cold was worse. A little,fever too. No appetite. After a stop at Publix, I went home and took a nap until 6 PM. Feeling a little better, now.
Camera still not working. Will have to find my purchase info and file a warranty claim with Canon.

Take care of your cold! 🙂
Thanks. I like to think fresh air and exercise is the best medicine.
