Sunday Afternoon Traffic Jam

I was on my way home from church on Sunday afternoon when I got caught in a traffic jam in Holmes Beach. At first I thought it was the Island Trolley making its stops, but then I noticed cars lining the street and people looking out over the canal just north of Seaside Gardens. I decided to join the crowds and see what they were watching. As it turned out, a mother manatee had just given birth to her baby, and she was showing off her pride and joy to excited human onlookers. How glad I am to have stopped!
