Time for this week’s #NotesFromTheRiver. Continuing with my series on alligators, today, I thought I’d share some photos that only make sense to those of us who call the Sunshine State home. Hope you get a smile or two from these!

“Big Blue”
Opening Slide from My Swamp Ghosts Presentation

On May 20, 2017, I’ll be doing my favorite presentation at DeBary Hall Historic Site, and if you are in the area, I’d love to see you there. This talk features many beautiful photographs of the St. Johns River basin habitat, including birds and wildlife of the area. There is also a brief introduction to albino and leucistic alligators, and a section on the easiest way to ID the very few snakes in our area that you do not want to handle. The last section covers a bit on how I write, my inspiration board photos, and the challenges of starting a brand new career at a time when most are thinking about retirement.

I always include plenty of time for Questions & Answers during and after the presentation, and I can pretty much guarantee that there will be a whole lotta laughin’ going’ on! 🙂 This is a fun event, and if you can possibly come, please do! Meeting new readers is my favorite thing in the world, next to writing books for them. Here’s the pertinent information for those who’d like  to  attend:

Location: DeBary Hall Historic Site, 198 Sunrise Blvd, DeBary, FL 32713
(386) 668-3840
Time: 2:00 PM, Saturday, May 20, 2017
Cost: FREE, No Reservations Required

COME HAVE A FUN AFTERNOON LEARNING MORE ABOUT WHAT MAKES FLORIDA GREAT!

New Sunday Feature: #LifeLessonsFromOz

/ Marcia Meara / 15 Comments

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from the Wizard of Oz. Thanks to a conversation with Staci Troilo, I’ve decided to run a new feature on Sundays: #LifeLessonsFromOz. As  you might guess, this has been my favorite movie for over 60 years, and even as a child, I learned a lot of life lessons from Dorothy and Friends. And from her enemies, as well. I hope you’ll enjoy what I come up with. Here’s WOZ Life Lesson #1.

Every journey, no matter how long or how difficult, starts by taking that first step.

And click on ‘Add Book’.
