Postcard from Paradise . . .

Greetings from Paradise!

Sunrise over Ocean Pond 

Being a free spirited, living free, wandering traveler can be tough work. After all, awakening to duck calls and other birds in time to watch the sunrise over a beautiful natural lake is rough duty.

So, here I am, located in the Ocean Pond campground in Osceola National Forest in north central Florida. As you can tell from the location of My McVansion, it's a low population density neighborhood. 

In the morning there may be a little fog on the lake like delicate lace.

The View from my Office/Studio

As you can see from the view from my office/studio French doors, it's a very laid back, relaxing work environment. Later in the day, it's clear with a brilliant sun and blue skies filled with puffy white clouds, moderate temperatures and gentle breezes. The tall trees surrounding My McVansion provide shade from the heat of the afternoon sun.

My quacking friends and an assortment of their chirping friends and some frogs and squirrels are my neighbors. There's an occasional lizard or two and the infrequent alligator and bear, though they generally avoid us human kind (unless we leave some food outside).

. . . and then there's the sunset over Ocean Pond . . . 

And then comes the majestic beauty of a sky painted by a being with an unlimited palette of color and an artistic genius no mere mortal could approach as the sun sets on the other end of Ocean Pond and resolves into a blackness lit up by a billion, billion stars throughout the universe.

So, this, my friends, is my lifestyle . . . this week. I have no idea what beauty will be revealed next week or what new, interesting and unique people will cross my path. As I said at the beginning of this postcard, this is tough work, but someone has to do it and yours truly is up for the task. I hope your life is as fantastic and blessed as mine is.

Enthusiastically,

Ed
