This summer, the Tampa Bay Times and the City of Clearwater Community Redevelopment Agency teamed to present True Florida, a photo and essay contest. It was inspired by two art exhibits on display at the Clearwater Main Public Library: the “America’s Everglades Through the Lens of Clyde Butcher” photo exhibit (which ended in May) and the “Daydreaming: Niki Butcher’s Hand-Painted Photography” exhibit (through Jan. 31, 2023).
We asked: What is your favorite natural resource in the Tampa Bay area and why?
