This Image Stinks

Every great story of mine at least starts with that... So ... And There I was with the wife and we were walking back from the dock where I normally take images of the Manatee. My have had seen them from a distance many of time but today was going to be different. I looked to the shoreline and there he was. It was a young Manatee that was pretty small, he was face down in the grass just enjoying himself some dinner. H was no more then 3 or 4 feet from me, I started to snap away.. After a few minutes he turned around and wanted to come in at a better angel. That is when I was able to capture this. He never came up for air and eventually swam away. But this was just amazing to see in the Wild, The image stinks, but the experience will last a lifetime.
