We went to Round Island Park today with the dog, saw some manatees and a ton of butterflies. It's a pretty cool place to go, not many people go cuz its like 10 miles from where i live... lol i know 10 miles aint much... there was a ton of these butterflies there, idk how i only got like 3 good pics...

i have a waaaay better pic but its too large to up cuz its just too huge... i'm too tired and too lazy to rezise anything right now... if you google it, you will get some really great results... they are amazing creatures and should be cared for as they are very endangered... they get hit by boat propellers cuz they are too slow to get outta the way (no sarcastic comments please, i really love these creatures)

beautiful pics!!

thanks! i love manatees, every time i go to seaworld orlando or epcot (the living seas) i like watching the manatees, or watching the manatees in the intracoastal waterway at Round Island Park on the walk bridge.

i know some may be thinking, well manatees arent here in arkansas, so i dont care, i really think everybody should know about manatees, even if you are in the middle of nowhere... one day they will be gone forever...
