Quick trip down to visit with Clyde Butcher who was having a "Meet the Artist" session today. An hour and twenty minutes took us 71 miles from our home in Naples to his place in Ochopee, (o-CHOP-e) Florida
He was a friendly guy who met us and talked with us, very casually, as if he had no other thing planned for the day. He let us question him and he smiled often, even posing for pictures
Later, we walked a small bit in the preserve which surrounds his place,
and saw an amazing alligator (made out of nuts and bolts, bicycle chains, and rubber tires!)
We bought a great book of his fabulous photos and he autographed it for us.
