Working it out...

I was sad and anti-social this weekend.

I just couldn't shake it-it really is still sitting out there waiting. 

I REFUSE to allow it in, so I am working it out the only way I know how.

First, I went to God...

I really HATE when I get a message I need, you know...

This is the ceiling of my church. 

Then I went to the water...

 Poor unwanted umbrella...

  I was not finding any inspiration...

 This was all a father and son needed to be happy

This was all a father and daughter needed

I needed my son and daughter...

So I went to the pier to see what I could see

Kind of awesome

GORGEOUS weather

But it still wasn't right...

Only in Florida

Today I took my mom to Clyde Butcher's Big Cypress Gallery deep in the Everglades.  If you do not know Clyde's work, check it out here.  In his honor, I snapped a few pictures.  He works in Black and White and it is very difficult to get good B & W-even though you would think it is the opposite!

This board is blank.

It will be fun to put stuff on it :)

Mom is a HUGE fan of the Everglades. 

I was blessed to be able to take her out there and show her amazing art.

Now that I have sent my kids off, I look forward to spending more time with my mom.

We then walked around a trail behind the gallery.

Then I tried to practice my macros...

yeah, not so much...

They are HARD!

I hope you had a bright sunshiney Sunday!

Ok...here is your obligatory beach shot!

The quote is from the Everglades advocate

Marjory Stoneman Douglas

but I thought it fit this picture, too.

No Labor Monday

YAY!!  Two Mondays off in a row!  Of course I had to go the beach twice!

I have a thing for beach umbrellas...

That first step on to the beach

ALWAYS AWESOME!

and shells

Hope Your Weekend Was Labor Free and Fun Filled!
