I spend a lot of time walking in the swamp lands of south Florida. It is part of my own challenge to lose 20 pounds (about 9 kg) and get out in the fresh air daily. I enjoy the wildlife and the endless view of lush green vegetation. In a sea of tall, green grass was a plant that did not survive. I liked the rust color and the shapes of the dead leaves. I wish I could tell you the name of the plant but there was nothing else in the area that looked like it. I also need to apologize for not posting on Renderosity as often as I would like but very busy upgrading both of our bathrooms, throwing away so much useless junk that we have held on to for more years that they deserved to be saved and follow ups with all the doctors that worked on me during last Aprils hospitalization. Throw in an eye doctor, a bunch of cat scans, dentist plus a colonospeny and I am dreaming of people in white smocks. Last but not least, I am feeling guilty that I can’t get current with commenting. There are so many outstanding photos and artwork out there that I can not skip posting just to catch up. So bear with me a little longer. Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated. Dana
