Manatees at the Ellenton Outlet Mall

I snapped these interesting manatee photos at the Prime Outlets in Ellenton, FL with my cell phone camera.  They're not the best quality photos, but it was pretty spur of the moment.  The sculptures look much better up close.  They also seemed to be pretty popular with children.  We saw several posing for parents while we were there.

I did a quick Google search tonight to learn more about the sculptor, but I haven't found anything yet.
