SNOWY EGRET IN FLORIDA SWAMP paintography by MICHAEL (MIGUEL) FORBUS THIS BIRD IS PAINTED IN MY ANTICIPATION OF MOVING BACK TO THE GULF COAST OF FLORIDA. I HAVE LOVED LIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS AND HAVE GOTTEN A LOT OF PROJECTS FINISHED, BUT MY FAMILY AND I NEED TO BE TOGETHER NOW AND SO I BID THE GLORIOUS MOUNTAINS AND THE CHILLY WEATHER ADEIU....BUT I DO SAY HELLO TO THE LOVELY SUNNY WHITE SAND BEACHES AND THE BOATING AND SWIMMING AND WALKING FOR MILES ON THE BEACH AND THE EXOTIC FOLIAGE AND THE ORCHID SHOWS AND THE TANS AND THE PEACE OF SITTING ON THE BEACH AND WATCHING THE SUN SIZZLE INTO THE GULF. AND BIG SHRIMP AND FRESH FISH AND A HOUSE ON THE BEACH OR A BOAT AGAIN TO LIVE ON. AND A LARGE ART PROJECT. I HAVE WEIGHED THE PROSPECTS AND THE THING THAT TIPS THE SCALES IS I REALLY MISS MY FAMILY. THEY ARE ALL TO ME. I WON'T BE MISSING YOU BECAUSE AS SOON AS I HOOK UP YOU WILL BE SEEING MORE AND MORE WORK FROM ME AND I WILL GET BACK TO MY TROPICAL CALYPSO ROOTS.
