The name of this Audubon Sanctuary  is, it must be said, a trifle twee. Images of skipping through long grass come to mind… But it is very beautiful and in the winter a little more “hardcore”.

This was the first outing for a small, portable easel that I acquired  in a local antique store for the princely sum of $42. It was either very cared for, or had been used once.
