Suddenly From Below

I was nervous swimming in murky water this morning. It didn't help when this big white thing with a large open mouth headed toward me from out of the depths. Whew, just a manta ray.

It was feeding on all of the organic debris in the water, swimming loops to gather as much as possible from each rich location. (Click HERE (or Below) for today's Video) I hung with it for a few minutes, then, with a flick of its wings, it was gone. Vanished into the gloom. I decided I didn't want to suddenly encounter any other large creatures, so I cut my swim short and headed back to shore.
