This is taken from the observation deck at Homosassa Springs Wildlife Refuge, the best place to spend the day and view manatees in Homosassa. While we were watching these people on the pontoon boat preparing to swim with manatees, dolphins came in up the Homosassa River. I just barely captured one on the far left of the picture, right in front of the kayaker. There were two of them. Dolphins and manatees in the same spot!
