Living Waters Exhibit at Inverness - 1-10-09

On Saturday 10-10-09 the Living Waters: the Aquatic Preserves of Florida exhibit by Clyde Butcher was featured at the Old Heritage Courthouse Museum in Inverness, FL.

What is amazing about the Living Waters exhibit that is just keeps going and traveling around the state of Florida.  Florida DEP has and is doing a great job on keeping the show on the road.  If you are interested in the exhibit, contact: Earl Person at: Earl.Pearson@dep.state.fl.us or call at:(850) 245-2104.
The exhibit looked great in the old courthouse.

At 10:30 Clyde and I were able to meet and greet the people who came to view the exhibit and present our horse and pony show (or is the Mutt and Jeff show).  Clyde and I have put together a lecture that takes you on a journey of how we met, the first video production and interview with Clyde.  We talk about getting out into the swamp, being introduced to the deep swamps of Florida, and traveling across the state of Florida.  We talk about how the Living Waters idea was conceived and designed on a napkin.  This really was a napkin idea.   We tell tidbits of the filming and photography for the Living Waters production.   How the idea of education and the opportunities to share with people began to cover the different medium of art, photography and film.

After the lecture Clyde and I walked across the street to have lunch at Stump-Knocker’s with Dick Roberts and his wife (Dick was featured in the Living Waters film at Loxahatchee) and friends of Clyde, George and Marilyn.   Must say, Inverness is great small town tucked just SW of Ocala and a stone's throw off I-75.  A small corner of restored building and    cobblestone streets.
