MANATEE WATERS
nature reflection photopaintings featuring the playful and gregarious energy of a pod of manatees
that delighted visitors to Deering Estate at Cutler, Florida during January 2008

During an early January afternoon visit to the Deering Estate at Old Cutler, my friend, Paula and I
encountered a group of about six manatees. We watched and photographed them for almost
two hours as they played, snorted, splashed and rested on this perfect winter day. Sure seemed like
they were performing just for our entertainment! Because of the angles of light and the constant
ripples of the water, I did not get a recognizable manatee photo, however, this "Manatee Waters"
artwork carries the delight and joy of their energy as well as the beauty and warmth of a glorious south florida day!
