14"x34" $89	Kissing Manatees This is a triptych of a pair of West Indian Manatees I caught snuggling in Crystal River, Florida during the winter. While swimming back to the boat to change film I heard the manatee on the right vocalizing, making high pitched squeaking noises. As I watched him for a few seconds I heard another manatee in the distance making similar sounds in return. Luckily I had 3 shots left on my camera. The manatee in the distance then approached from the left and they began to snuggle and kiss like they recognized each other. Moments after the last shot was taken the manatee on the left swam over and gave me a smooch right on my face mask. I nearly drowned laughing so hard ! This kissing manatee sequence is one of my most published works.	8"x28" $58
