Today, I saw manatees in the warmer Gulf waters at the Venice Florida Jetty for the first time this year. Don't know if this is a "little one" with its mother or two adults getting frisky

Selby Gardens in Sarasota Florida is having its annual RainForest Mask exhibit. The masks are carved mainly from balsa wood and painted in vibrant colors by Borucan artists in Costa Rica. Originally the masks were used to scare invading Spanish Conquistadors by representing the devil. They have since evolved to include representations of the huge variety of plants and animals in their country.

Lucky day for me but not for the snake. This red-shouldered hawk flew down and caught the snake at the edge of a lake; then flew up into a tree near me. As someone came up behind me, the bird took off. Taken in Myakka River State Park near the old weir.
