As this week comes to a close, I'd like to present a #MuseumMoment from our _Wild Waters_ exhibition.
This painting, titled _Landscape with Cows_, is featured in our _Wild Waters_ exhibition at the Governor's House in St. Augustine, Florida. Maria A'Becket was an artist who painted rural scenes with loose brush work in Florida, France, and Maine. She was a remarkable woman painter who trained with William Morris Hunt in a class he offered exclusively for women (one of the very limited training options for women in those days), and later studied with Charles-Francois Daubigny, who was associated with the #BarbizonSchool in the countryside outside of Paris.
Notice how her palette softens the landscape with its pastel tones blending the lake and sky. May it remind us the beauty that surrounds us as we head into the weekend.

Congratulations to Gage LaPierre, Ph.D., and coauthor Isabella Guttuso Browne, Urban and Recreational Green Infrastructure Coordinator with the #centerforlandscapeconservationplanning, on the forthcoming release of _The Florida Meadow Manual_, now available for preorder. Designed as a practical guide, _The Florida Meadow Manual_ walks readers through every stage of creating meadow landscapes in Florida; from planning and design to installation, maintenance, and long-term stewardship. The book also features case studies ranging from commercial sites and public spaces to small residential yards, illustrating how meadow landscapes can flourish across a diversity of settings.
This is an important book in thinking about the role of meadows as green infrastructure: providing habitat, supporting pollinators, and improving biodiversity across Florida’s urban to rural landscapes.
