What is it?
A couple of months ago, I was spending the afternoon with some friends. I had been doing some plein air painting. We were in North Brevard County, Florida. It was a steaming hot afternoon.
My friend and I wandered around trying to amuse ourselves. As we chatted amiably, we noticed something pretty interesting. We found some fascinating creatures to watch! Since I am trying to keep this a bit of a mystery, I won't give many more clues.
We watched them for a couple hours. We were able to get up right in their faces. We took turns touching these wondrous creatures. They didn't seem to mind, at all. They didn't utter a sound. They had wrinkled skin but were smooth to the touch. Fortunately, I had my camera with me. I took lots and lots of photographs of them from various angles. The lighting was good as the sky was a bit cloudy. I had no good excuse not to get some interesting shots.
I intend to post a few more photos at a later date. If no-one has solved the mystery, the next photos in a few days might give you some clues.
Curious to see how many can figure it out.

Major macro creepiness, AJ! I have no clue. L/f
AnnaJo Vahle replied:
It is the mouth of a manatee, Joe! The yellow globular shape is it's tongue as it catches water drops falling from a boat.

Very interesting capture. Since this is a macro group, it must something small. A snail?
