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.

I took advantage of free entry into Florida State Parks Saturday and got to eight parks… and sketched away. I also got a lot of Swampy photos some of which can be found over at Swampy’s Florida.
To the right is a sketch I drew at Crystal River Archaeological State Park.
Next are fish lingering over the spring boils at Rainbow Springs State Park.
The turtles are from Homosassa Springs State Park.

by Rob Smith, Jr. on Aug.29, 2009, under Books
Wow! I hadn’t put up books in a while! So here’s what I’ve taken in since mid-July. I went pretty straight forward fiction during the kidney stone mess. I tried reading non-fiction but had trouble keeping it in my head.
