January 12th, 2012 – Hiking and Sketching!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jan.14, 2012, under Florida Outdoors!, Sketchbook, What's New?
I joined the Thursday morning hiking group of the Florida Cracker Chapter of the Florida Trail Association for, what turned out to be, a strenuous 6 mile hike through San Felasco State Park. There are many more photos at the Swampy’s Florida site. You can see those by clicking here.
Along the way I got some sketchin’ done, too. Not as much as usual. Below are a couple of the slight scribblings I made along the way.
While hiking it’s always good to be prepared for emergencies by carrying a well stocked Pez container!
We found ourselves in an empty bed of a cypress swamp.
This should be under at least some water. Below is a lonely cypress knee.

That hike although physically demanding on me was an absolute visual delight. My photos do not do justice to the scene. It was nice to get to know you. We look forward to additional hikes with you in the future.

Wow, great pics. I used to do a lot of hiking in Myakka State park and they remind me of the great time I had then. Thanks and I look forward to seeing more of your posts.
