A few weeks ago a plein air painter friend and I explored a new area along Highway 41 South.  We were able to set up in an observation platform which afforded a grand view of the Everglades.  As we worked, water birds flew in to feed in the shallow marshes below us. There were herons, egrets, coots, and even Roseate Spoonbills.  It was a beautiful morning to be alive and doing the thing I love most.

Everglades Morning

A few weeks ago a fellow plein air painter and I explored a new area along Highway 41 South.  We were able to set up in a covered observation tower where this view could be seen.  As we worked, water birds flew in and out of the marshy area just below us. There were herons, egrets, ducks and even some Roseate Spoonbills which have become rare around here. It was truly a wonderful morning.

For some reason, we lost track of each other.  The good news is that I have been out painting every week with quite a few results. Also, I have added paintings to a website. Visit www.marymoran.fineartstudioonline.com. Many of these are also at Dennison-Moran Gallery, 360 12th Avenue South, Naples, FL 34102.
