Author Description

The Colors of Florida can be enjoyed by everyone as a beautiful sampling of the peninsula's flora, fauna, and geography. It pictures the entire natural world--animate and nonliving--and includes the Gulf and the Atlantic coasts, springs, rivers and lakes, skies, and atmospheric effects.An unusual field guide, this book's photos and photo illustrations are arranged, not by species, but by color unfurling as a spectrum from page-to-page. Look for the strips of pure color across the top of each spread: You'll find that either the predominate colors or the focal point of each picture falls within the band's range of hues..This book can be used as a tool for students and artists in exploring and analyzing the most harmonious schemes in art and nature.The book includes an index to the species pictured.
