FISHEATING CREEK – ELLEN’S MEMORIAL TREE © 2002Palmdale, FL
Ellen Peterson, the visionary behind “Save Our Creeks,” was a fierce, protective voice for the environment, fighting tirelessly to preserve many of Florida’s natural areas, including Fisheating Creek. Upon one visit to the creek, Ellen graciously invited Niki and me to her cherished tree, where I took this photograph. Upon her death and in her honor, I named the photograph Ellen’s Memorial Tree, immortalizing all her endeavors to safeguard this creek for the benefit of future generations.
