It has been a glorious holiday. Patricia and I have been visiting David and Sandra in their Florida home between Christmas and New Year's. Lots of kayaking on the Oklawaha and Silver Rivers, in the Ocala National Park. Along the rivers we saw red tail monkeys, anhinga, cormorant, great blue and little blue herons, ibis, sandhill cranes (lots of them), red shoulder hawk, bunches of turtles and, of course, an alligator. Lots of comfortable time with good friends, eating, talking, cooking, eating, relaxing, eating...

I'd brought along my watercolor stuff and even tried painting the canal behind their house, but the results were horrid. I did have better results with charcoal though - the drawings below are what you see right behind their back yard over the canal, and the little palm garden is in the middle of their back yard. Beautiful place. Tough life!
