by Holly Sprinkle (Author)
Author Holly Sprinkle unveils the secrets hidden within Florida's aquatic wonders. Florida's springs swirl a spectrum of greens and blues with a crystal clarity seen nowhere else in the world. "Springhunting" is a cherished regional pastime, but these ancient oases have served as a beacon for humans and beasts alike since time immemorial. Giant sloths, mammoths and armadillos once centered their lives around these springs--the endangered West Indian Manatee still seeks refuge in the relatively warm springs during the winter months. These enchanting waters sustain ecosystems and inspire everything from feelings of deep serenity to legends involving curses, ghosts and alien visitation.
