On March 11 received invite letter to national juried art exhibition at Tubac Center of the Arts. How could I not enter "Milky Way Over the Keys" into the "Starry Starry Night" call. Will be showing in AZ next month, about 40 miles from Tucsan. 30x30 inches on metal ready to hang. Check-out exhibit and my piece.

It's an honor ever time I'm asked to show original works photographed at this historic home and Fort Lauderdale treasure, Bonnet House Museum and Gardens. On July 5, 1984, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places." The former winter home of artist Frederic Clay and Evelyn Bartlett.

Pictured above: Top - "Bonnet House Brazilian Spider Monkey". Bottom - "Path to Bonnet House".

Evelyn Bartlett had a pet monkey and bought 30 to 40 monkeys to live in the trees of the estate. When a local bar, LeClub, that featured monkeys closed they fled to the Bonnet House. Perhaps three survive there today.

If interested, visit or contact Bonnet House directly: 900 N Birch Rd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304, 954-563-5393 or feel free to contact me and I'll do it for you and make the arrangement to pick up.

First weekend in May started with wonderful coverage in The Mountain Press. Thanks Juli Neil and TMP for running article on story behind the "Disappearing Hemlock" photograph taken during my Artist in Residence at Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Biggest TY goes to GSMNP forester Jesse Webster for working so hard to save these trees and the eco-systems they support.

So honored that one of my images inspired a reporter to research this conservation story.
