AUTHOR'S ARTWORK and PHOTO CREDITS
In 1983, while living aboard his sailboat in the Florida Keys, Duane painted on canvas a surrealistic scene of many types of local birds playing around a mangrove tree in Florida Bay. Like this painting, this book project is an attempt to capture the spiritual essence of Florida Bay and reveal nature's wonders with personal knowledge of the realm.
