Muck About, Beach with Sun daily painting by Everglades artist JoAnn Sanborn

Beach with Sun
acrylic on canvas, 6"x6"

Have you actually been into the swamp? The Everglades ecosystem that's so important to me as a painter will surprise and delight you as well.

If you're out and about with nothing to do today, remember that this is the weekend of the Clyde Butcher Muck About. Clyde and Nicki Butcher open their property to the public in an effort to introduce more people to the wonders of the Everglades, and it's quite an event.

It's a fun and fabulous opportunity to get into the Swamp, get your feet wet and find out what it's all about. Do call ahead, though, since the event has become so popular that reservations are necessary.

Otherwise, have a wonderful Labor Day.

Muck About with Clyde Butcher

Every year on Labor Day weekend, Everglades photographer Clyde Butcher and his wife Niki open their Everglades property to the public for a "muck about". In cooperation with a number of Everglades groups, experienced park Rangers will take groups into the swamp to see it's beauty and mystery first hand. You can get a preview of the walk by checking out this video on youtube, but it's not as good as the actual experience!

Clyde himself is usually on hand to autograph his books or for a photograph. You can purchase a muck about tee shirt and the proceeds will benefit Everglades restoration. There's a party atmosphere, and even if you forgo getting wet, take a ride out and plan to be part of this fun weekend! I'm letting you know early so you can call ahead to reserve your tour. Great for kids, and anyone else wanting a unique Florida experience!
