God gave me a gift I didn't know I had until I was 58 years old, but once I picked up that brush, I never put it down. Painting is nothing but joy to me!

The beauty of the Great White Egret is beyond compare. These two were building their nest in the rookery at the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine. The male goes out to gather sticks, usually one at a time, and the female weaves it into the sticks already gathered. Those first few sticks are the hardest to intertwine without one or more falling to the ground, or in the water. Nest building is exhausting.
