Archimedes in his bath pondered differences between California and Florida. "They both have palms," he thought; "with long trunks waving in a blue sky. What would be more Floridian?" A frilly frond brushed against a window. "Areca! I have it," and off he rushed to get his camera.

I photographed an owl named Archimedes one time. Any relation?

Well, you know, it’s true. People come to Florida for all different reasons and different seasons of their life. Even Ponce de Leon knew there was something in the water here. 😉😉
