Join Us For An Evening With
Ron Coley
author of
The Fountains of Saint Mark
Tuesday, December 13th @ 7:00PM
The Fountains of St. Mark is a love story, a legacy to be cherished and held fast. Ron Coley’s images illustrate the fragility and strength of this spiritual place. The essays speak to the new world that is waiting for each of us under the rocks in our own backyards.
The Fountains of St. Mark, Texas hill country artesian springs, are the source of the San Marcos River. These springs create a 16-acre lake, inhabited by humans for more than 12,000 years, making it one of the oldest continually inhabited sites in North America.
Today, Spring Lake is one of the most biologically diverse aquatic ecosystems in the United States. The San Marcos Springs have been named a critical habitat, with eight known endangered or threatened species, as identified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife, based on declining numbers or loss of habitat.
Eight essays narrate the book, and more than 100 underwater photographs – most using stunning natural light – take the reader on an aquatic adventure in living color. Eight Janet Skaggs Hardin paintings, inspired by Coley’s photography, provide the foundation for this love story.
