What a surprise... Finally had a little break to catch-up on reading a few magazines. While flipping through Birds&Blooms September Extra issue saw this in the "Garden with a Purpose Bird Tales" section by yours truly. My photo of the Spot-breasted Oriole is the on the right page.
"The entry attached has won our REPTILE category! This is a beautiful photo, and we are thrilled you chose to share it with us!"
- Carolina Montano, Director of Outreach and Volunteer Services It was an honor to submit an entry for the South Florida Wildlife Center's photography contest earlier this year. I've had the privilege to visit the center and see the care and healing they provide for injured wildlife throughout the greater South Florida area. Once my neighbor recovered a young chick that fell out of its nest and took it to the center. About the photo: Mother Alligator with her young hatchling stretched out across her head. For me it's a reflection of motherhood, only in an animal species many fear. Symbolically this image represents a mother's nature to support, protect and, literally, uplift their young giving them the best opportunity to survive and hopefully thrive.

Leah, the owner, feel in love with "Attracting" and asked me to have it printed so she could hang if on the wall. This was my first time seeing it printer and I must admit I fell in love with it myself. Printed on metal the Great Heron looks like satin standing out among the twigs and leaves in its natural environment. The piece measuring 35 x 37 inches is titled "Attracting" because that is exactly what's going on here. In its breeding plumage, this male heron is "strutting" its stuff as in pose showing off it's beautiful self with the intention of attracting a mate. "Attracting" is on display along with some of the other pieces from my collection carried by the gallery on "my wall".
If you're in Venice, FL or nearby, hope you'll take a moment and check him out along with "Early Morning Fog, Milky Way Over the Keys and Louie. Or, contact me for more info on "Attracting," other images from the "WingedLife Collection" or other pieces. Art Night at the Burrie, a collaboration with National League of American Pen Women and the new Charlotte Burrie Community Center in Pompano Beach, FL was a huge success. Above are some of the highlights from the evening. It was an honor to create and organize this event and share it with my sister artists, all award-winning and internationally collected, and the community. We each shared our journey's to be the recognized artists we are today.
"Mom and Baby" was selected by Clyde Butcher, renown photographer for wilderness photography of Florida landscapes as the top winner in the Reptile Category of the South Florida Wildlife Center in their recent Wildlife Photography Contest. Quite an honor.
