Still out in the Big Cypress Swamp! Here is another sketch made while in the swamp. It’s a lone cypress knee.
Below are more caricatures I drew today.
I helped Sandra take crowds out through the swamps of Big Cypress for the annual Muck-A-Bout. I did some sketching while out in the swamps, as to the right .
Our first stop during our Volusia County tour was Ponce Preserve. It’s a park that has a combo of opportunities to experience the original natural Florida tidal area of this part of the east coast. See the site for details. It’s a GREAT park and well worth the trip whether you take the boardwalk, the […]
I attended the monthly meeting of Orlando Remembered. Here are drawings of Robert Serros, Dan Pottinger and, the ever graceful Grace Chewning.
A clipping from the Sentinel Star was brought in of a large group of children who were celebrating birthdays. Most known by the group at the meeting. Member Duke Crittendon estimated the photo to […]
We had to leave Apalachicola early so I could get back and work further on a project I have. Sandra was driving and it was rough. This a view out of the front window of the car as we crossed the five mile bridge connecting Apalachicola. Also scaring us was that water spouts had been […]
We made a trip to White Springs so that Sandra could drop off a ton of materials for the upcoming hiking festival and to test a hike she will be leading a “V.I.P.” group on Saturday. The test was to see how much of the trail was passable due to recent high water levels of […]

Then I found the Cape Haze Trail. To the right is a sketch I made of the […]
Here’s an inked and colored version of the pencil art shown here a few weeks ago. The art is for Clyde Butcher’s annual Muck-A-Bout near the Big Cypress Swamp in South Florida. Click here for more information .
More Stops. We nabbed some doughnut goodies from Thomas Doughnuts. We toured the Wesley House at Eden State Park. Then a walk though Camp Helen State Park. Then through Panama City and on to Apalachicola.
After touring through Apalachicola we went looking for dinner and had one of the few bad experiences at a restaurant we have had. […]
Our first stop this day was to the Florida Caverns State Park. You can see a photo of the caverns here.
Here is a sketch I drew while taking the tour.
From there we toured Marianna. Making stops at the Chamber of Commerce and the wonderful building it’s in.
We made many, many, many stops afterward. We went through […]
Sandra and I hiked the Landbridge Loop that crosses over the 75 landbridge south of Ocala. I meant this sketch to be more involved, but mosquitoes quickly changed my mind.
After that we had breakfast at Richard’s Place in Ocala. Below is the back area of this landmark restaurant in Marion County.
Not getting around so I thought I’d post something from a project I’m working on. Here’s the inked art for next year’s Clyde Bitcher Muck-A-Bout! Come join us next Labor Day weekend to tromp in the swamp! Click here for more information!
We stopped at Tomoka State Park near Ormond Beach. This park has a very interesting history. Learn more here. Here are some photos.
