The Flatwoods Preserve

The Flatwoods PreserveToday was another good day for plein air painting, so my friend and I set off again for Pine Island. We stopped at the Flatwoods Preserve near the southern end of the island.

Flatwoods Preserve has a hiking trail just over a mile long and several hikers passed by and said “Hello.”  There is not much else there except slash pine trees, dead trees, local grasses and palmettos.

The birds soared overhead, the planes left vapor trails and the clouds moved slowly across the sky. Whether or not my picture turns out well, I still had a great day!
