While visiting Navarre Beach Fishing Pier with her husband, Bebe Booth, 52, had hoped to photograph sea turtles and dolphins. Instead, she caught a harrowing water rescue on camera when an 11-year-old boy got trapped in a rip current.

It was a normal Wednesday for the amateur wildlife photographer from Milton, Florida, June 30. She and her husband were just leaving the pier when she thought she saw a dolphin in the distance.
