Author Andrew Nicholas collected several old photos of one of Florida's river systems for his new book, 'Exploring the St. Johns River.'
He begins his book at the ocean jetties at Mayport, moving south down the north-flowing river to its beginning in Brevard County. He traveled much of its length, taking photos and getting contributions from locals along the way.
Nicholas came away from that with a theme common to those who've spent extended periods on the St. Johns."We should show respect to the river, to the ecosystem," he said."It wouldn't be Jacksonville without the river. Every day I drive over the Fuller Warren and sometimes I forget the river's there. It's just, we go about our daily lives and we take for granted such a river, such a resource that we have.
