Reflections of Blue Cypress - Photographs, History, and Poems of the Headwater Lake of the St. Johns River

The Pelican Island Audubon Society has published Reflections of Blue Cypress - Photographs, History, and Poems of the Headwater Lake of the St. Johns River, authored by Drs. Richard H. and Juanita N. Baker and including a forward by Dr. George Schaller of the Wilderness Conservation Society.

Since 1990, Richard and Juanita Baker have visited Blue Cypress Lake many times, often spending the night listening to a steady chorus of frogs and an occasional gator. Rising before the sun, they often witnessed the early changing light, and photographed and savored each moment of their days at the lake.

The resulting book takes readers on a journey to one of Florida's natural treasures and would make an ideal holiday gift for anyone interested in our environment, birds, plants and other wildlife, local history, fresh water fishing, or beautiful photography and poems.

The book is available for purcahse at the Audubon office (1931 14th Ave, Vero Beach, FL 32960), at the reception desk of the Press Journal's Vero Beach and Sebastian offices, and at other retail stores in the area. All profits from the book go to Pelican Island Audubon Society. For more information call the Audubon office at 772-567-3520 or visit their website at www.pelicanislandaudubon.org.
