Contained herein I describe some of my favorite moments of 2013 with the accompanying images.

Our 2013 Manatee Photography Workshop was a great success. We had fine weather and manatees to photograph. Our last days were the most special when we had some playful babies. We also witnessed a manatee rescue first hand.
