An award-winning writer/photographer, Fran Palmeri discovered the beauty of Florida in 1950 when she visited Jacksonville with her family. In the 1960s, she and her husband stayed on Sanibel Island and from then on she spent part of most winters in Florida. After settling in Nokomis in the 1990s, she started photographing at Oscar Scherer State Park and other natural areas of the state and completed Florida's Master Naturalist course.
