Cabbage Palms in Big Cypress National Preserve, early morning.
I saw this cluster of cabbage palms on a foggy winter morning at sunrise while scouting around for possible painting spots. When I saw the first rays of sunlight lighting up the grasses that morning, I knew I had to make a painting. That light only lasted a moment so I was thankful I had my camera.
