You Guessed It- Friday Creature
I haven't gotten any good pictures of British animals yet. So far the only one's I've really seen other than a couple of truely adorable West Highland terriers are the strange flying ants that mysteriously swarmed the hall, stairs, laundry room and eventually my bed room in the cottage (which used to be the rectory before the vicar moved down the street) I'm staying in with three other girls. I gave up on sleeping in my bed last night after I kept finding stray ants crawling on the sheets and covers, and crashed on some sofa cushions thrown on the floor of another girl's room. When I came back up to check the morning internets just now, all evidence of ant had mysteriously dissapeared. There seem to be only a few stragglers in the laundry room.
So, with that long preamble to explain the seeming oddity of this week's Friday Creature when I'm in the UK, here is a manatee from when I was down in Florida in June under unhappy circumstances. The manatees seemed pretty bent on cheering me up though, and it worked. This manatee came with two (huge) calves into a small boat inlet/marina. They like the extra warm shallow water, and spent a lot of time rolling around and poking their noses up. We had the good fortune to be over the bridge right when they came under it, so I managed to catch this lucky shot
You know the drill-- there's many more where this guy (or gal, I suppose) came from on The Friday Ark.
