This drawing represents the interest I have in nature around me. It is a drawing of a fallen sabal palmetto frond. The sabal palm is Florida's state tree.

The Natural History of Florida is of great interest to me. I love living in an area where I have native plants and some critters in my own yard.
There is at least one gopher tortoise burrow in our front yard. The animal can be seen infrequently in the yard and neighborhood. It is a joy to watch him.
I am a Florida Master Naturalist. Check out this link on the program to view more information about the program. Several of my photos were chosen for the featured species and appear currently in the picture archives.

Decide to expand the blog into another area of interest which fuels a lot of my imagery. This area is about the REAL Florida.
