“Ici la Riv. de Loire”, detail of a painting currently on my easel. Saturiwa, Chief of the Timucuan People, welcomes Jean Ribault in Florida. The explorer named the rivers he encountered after French rivers. The marker reading: “Massacre by Menendez of Ribault and his men September 1565” serves as a reminder of the tragic end of the settlement attempt.

{{ #timucuan #potteryshards #found years ago #stjohnsriver #florida }} #somepinkflowers 🌸 #souvenirs from a difficult summer I experienced in 1989. #littletreasures I keep to remind me of where & when. 🌸 I was hunting arrowheads & had no luck. ☹️ I kept finding bits of pottery instead. 🙂 But pottery = vessels = nourishment = 💕💕💕 . I feel these broken bits are magical. 💫✨⚡️⭐️🌙 How old are they ? I have no idea. Smooth. Rough. Broken. Bits. ✌🏽🙂🌸 Who dug the clay? Who fashioned the vessel? Who used it for water or grain? ⚡️⭐️💫🌙✨ And now I keep them in a little bag. Magic. For difficult times. ⚡️✨💫⭐️🌙 https://www.instagram.com/p/CB2107sAtQs/?igshid=17uzguhkk9nw1
