Adding a link to another Blog

I have a couple creative friends who also have a blog of their own. Check out Joy's Journal. She is a very talented writer and has published a book about building a home that is excellent. More later.

Cottonmouth snake

This snake was resting very comfortably on a log as I walked past during a "swamp walk" in Fakahatchee Strand in Collier County, Florida. I think the snake is quite beautiful and was very happy to have had a long lens with which to capture this image.

Decided to try Blogging as a presence on the web

As a painter of many years, I am struggling to gain recognition in SW Florida. I had begun to gain momentum while living and painting in suburban Tampa, but moves happen. I live in an absolutely beautiful area. Many retirees and seasonal residents decide to become or declare themselves artists, so many local galleries are resistant to "local" talent.

I am also a big fan of ironic humor. Carl Hiassen's POV on Florida is taken to heart.

So much for my first Blog entry.
