Moped heavy equipment.
take a gander at the equipment that fascinates me over here: http://mizbee.net/Patchwork/Feb/Feb15.htm Now if I could only remember how to code that in comments it'd look better. 
I'm fascinated with the fact that you are a wildlife artist. Are you self-taught? Interesting. I love reading these things because it helps me know you better!
Florida is a great place for a wildlife artist. When we lived in Cleveland, I loved metroparks. I visited there last summer. Such a beautiful place!
ryc: Here is a pic of the Cereus (Queen of the Night) cactus that grows locally. It sets hundreds of buds over the tree - there are two different varieties, one, the most common and profilic grows tall and solid, up to about 15' at least and as wide as a decent-sized tree trunk, and the other just roams in a kind of ugly way all over beams, sort of vine-like. All the buds blook in one night and you can smell the scent from a 100 yards or more away. This article is on cultivating them. People have parties on the island when they bloom they are so fantastic.
Nice to know you better!
Nice to meet you. So you live in the Cleveland area, huh? Me too.
freelance wildlife artist ..That is SOOOOOOO awesome. I think I'm jealous!
Have a super weekend.
Mt. Dora Fl has a wonderful art show each year. But...I think it's already past for this year. It was the same week end of our fierce tornados. It's a good time(usually) to escape to Florida. We are having record-breaking cold temps today but by next week end, they predict we will be back in the high 70's.
I used to go to the art institute with my friend...I just went with her. Then in the 50's I took a watercolor class. That was fun. I would love to draw and paint but....just can't . I should try...huh? I keep saying I should but never do.
Stay warm.
Thanks Jackie for all those confidences .
Michel
