Having Clyde's work in Russia seems amazing to us...seems like not to long ago we were in deep fear of each other and today Clyde is in a gallery in Moscow! Absolutely, wonderful and proof that if we try we can work together.

Take Your Child to Work Day
Robbie was lucky for the "Take Your Child to Work Day"...
his parents and grandparents all work in the same
place, so he got to work with all of us!

Florida House - 2011 Distinguished Artist Award
Clyde was honored with the Florida House
2011 Distinguished Artist Award. We traveled
up to DC to receive the award where we met
the Trustees of the Florida House, members
of both the Florida House of Representatives
and our Florida Senators.
Every trip to DC is an educational experience
and this was no exception. We met a lot of
very influential folks and it was fun hearing
the variety of opinions from everyone.
Flor those of you who don't know what the Florida
House is: Florida is the only state that has an
embassy in DC...the Florida House. So, if you are
a resident of Florida and are traveling in DC
and would like a place to rest in peace and
quiet while you're seeing the sites, stop by
and enjoy the Florida House.
On our way into DC

The Florida House
The Florida Representatives from the House
and our two state Senators came and talked
to us. We were amazed that they found the
time because the final vote on the budget
cuts were going to happen the next day! It
was great to hear them express their opinions,
even if sometimes we didn't agree. It's fun to
see democracy in action.
Washington DC is always an amazing place
to visit. Every time we see our nations
capitol I am filled with pride. We had a
wonderful time.
On the way home we stopped by the
Boone Hall Plantation to see some
of the history of the old south.
Boone Hall Plantation is famous for
it's avenue of oak trees leading up
to the house

Darkroom Lecture
Since we have such a great time talking with
photographers, we decided to try something
new...a darkroom lecture that aims at
discussing the different aspects of photography.
We had a great turnout and Clyde enjoyed
the photographic conversations and questions.
Kissimmee Basin ~ The Northern Everglades
The documentary, Kissimmee Basin - The
Northern Everglades, is coming to a
conclusion. I can't wait to see the whole thing!
Elam has had some wonderful educational
experiences and wishes he could share all
of them with everyone, but he's going to do
the best he can within the hour format.
Clyde met Elam, Joe and Carlton Ward at
the Kissimmeee to film the introduction and
conclusion statements of the film. Clyde is
NOT an actor, so following a script was a
VERY BIG challenge. It took quite a while,
but Elam thinks that maybe...just maybe with
some editing, I might have succeeded,
otherwise I am up for a retake some time later.
Nevertheless, it was a great time to be outdoors
with great company. We had a good time together.

Venice Gallery & Studio Open House & Lecture
The annual Venice Gallery & Studio Open House
and Lecture was a wonderful success. We had a
great time visiting with the many folks who
had never seen Clyde's work. It's always fun
sharing Florida with people who love Florida!
