Ferns for Valentine's Day

  • 8 photos for sale Buy a Photo
  • Volusia County is known as an international center of racing, but folks in Pierson and Seville pride themselves on a different accolade -- "Fern Capital of the World." It's a place where leatherleaf fern grows inside shade tents. Other foliage -- known as tree fern -- sprout underneath the natural shade of oaks. Families have been tending the crops for generations. And while most eyes are on the upcoming Speed Weeks in Daytona Beach, northwest Volusia County's fern industry is gearing up -- at a slightly slower pace -- for Valentine's Day.

Juneteenth 2011

  • 6 photos for sale Buy a Photo
  • On June 19, 1865, Gen. Gordon Granger led a Union army regiment into Galveston, Texas, to tell some good news to the state's slaves -- they were free! Never mind that their freedom wasn't -- or shouldn't have been -- breaking news. President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation had become official on Jan. 1, 1863. This was the first that the former slaves in Texas had heard about it, and they celebrated on that June 19. The joyous occasion -- dubbed Juneteenth -- eventually came to be celebrated, first sporadically and then annually, in places across the nation.
