Blue Spring State Park - Orange City, FL

Manatees are also called 'sea cows'. They are basically slow moving balloons with sealion-like faces. These are one of a few protected species left in the world. They come up about once every 5 minutes for a breath of air and spend the rest of the time eating plants and sleeping...sounds healthy and relaxing.


The day that we visited the park, there were over 130 manatees counted.



What is the opposite of phallic? This is the source of the spring...it is probably about 10 feet wide and 70 feet long.
