This is the wonderful Florida season we natives live for. It lasts but a few months but it is worth the wait. The tall sedges turn coppery brown and feathery tufts grow on the tops. They are like large bird feathers, appearing at the first cold snap. Other weeds produce silvery and lavender bunches mixed into the sedges. The distant trees turn smoky blue gray and purple behind the deep green live oaks and pines.The Spanish moss is a pale gray lace, gently swaying with breezes.
This is the Florida of my life time. The memories grow deep of a carefree childhood with horses, dogs, the beginning of understanding the natural world and my long career as an artist. The woods are my soul mate, the wild creatures share it with me. I never tire of observing this small slice of the upland magic of what was.
