    Manatee

    This is the first wild manatee I've seen. Photographed yesterday in Crystal River, FL.

    Cool image. Just south of Crystal River, you can find some awesome tidal marsh areas, but you probably already know that. This makes me wish I was into photography back then.

    I like this image a lot. I love how you can see the scars on it's back. As sad as it is, it's a good reminder that what we do has an impact on the rest of our world.
