On Wednesday a cold front rolled in, bringing clouds and wind up to 30 mph. I had the day off so I headed out to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge for the sunrise. With the cloud cover it was no great sunrise, but it was still incredibly beautiful. The wind!! I often see wild boar in the water, but seeing a raccoon was a first for me.

Inspirational Artists I grew up on... Virginia Lee Burton.
Another inspirational artist, Virginia Lee Burton wrote and illustrated many classics, including The Little House, a favorite of mine as evidenced by the sorry condition of my copy!
