Manatee and Calf in BC Volcanic Spring
by Edwin Burt
Hard coastal glare penetrates the surface, illuminating a manatee and its calf suspended in the mineral-rich water of a volcanic spring. The mother's grey skin shows a rough, leathery texture, against the smoother, rounded form of the calf beside her. Fine suspended particles glitter brightly in the water column, catching the flat noon light and creating a field of scattered sparks around the animals. The dark, jagged edge of a volcanic drop-off looms in the background, its black rock face stark against the bright water. The calf nuzzles the mother's flank, their bodies aligned horizontally as they drift in the current. Tiny bubbles rest on the mother's skin near the waterline, marking the boundary between the submerged world and the air above.
