CHARLOTTE HARBOR — The Charlotte County Historical Center’s new fall exhibit, Clyde Butcher’s Visions of Florida, is scheduled to open to the public at a reception sponsored by the Charlotte County Historical Society at 5 p.m. Oct. 4.

Butcher, a well-known nature photographer, will be present for a book signing at the opening event.

Discover an undisturbed paradise that is rapidly disappearing, through the eyes of one of America’s finest landscape photographers. Journey into the realm of natural Florida — a world seldom seen, either by tourists or longtime residents. Butcher is known for his amazing wilderness photography, using large-format cameras to help people appreciate Florida’s natural environment.

The exhibit is from the Museum of Florida History, mounted by the Historical Center in collaboration with the Arts & Humanities Council of Charlotte County, featuring additional images from local nature photographers.
