Known for a wide range of dynamics and eclectic instrumentation, they
have frequently drawn comparisons to Leonard Cohen, Neutral Milk Hotel,
Buddy Holly and The Band. In writing, Perkins prefers the poetic to the
polemical; his lyrics often have a whimsical quality, their melancholy
aspects counterbalanced with an undercurrent of hope. He repeatedly
returns to images of sleep and dreams and flight, as if we might all
wake up at once and find ourselves in a far better place.

Help Yourself to Fine Dining while Helping Care for Injured Wildlife! The HAWKE Annual “Dinner for the Birds” set for Friday, November 6th, 2009
HAWKE, the Humane Association of Wildlife Care and Education, Inc. announces the 12th annual "Dinner for the Birds" to benefit HAWKE's mission of wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and environmental education. The dinner will be held at 7:00 pm on Friday, November 6th, 2009 in the private upstairs dining room of the famous Raintree Restaurant on San Marco Blvd. in St. Augustine, FL.

HAWKE depends on fund raisers and memberships to support the rescue and rehabilitation of hundreds of injured wild birds, mammals and reptiles each year with the goal of releasing healthy wildlife back to their natural habitat. There is no state or federal funding for wildlife rehabilitation and many centers in NE Florida have closed or are no longer accepting patients, so fundraisers like the Dinner for the Birds are critical for HAWKE's mission. Raintree owner Lorna MacDonald and General Manager Christopher Cantabene graciously host this annual event to show their support for wildlife rehabilitation.
The award-winning Raintree Restaurant, one of North Florida’s finest restaurants, will offer the following spectacular selection: Margarita Bruschetta Mixed Baby Green Salad Served with Sesame Soy Shrimp and Calamari Chicken Zingara - baked chicken breast, tarragon. port wine, topped with Prosciutto ham and Provolone cheese. Served with seasonal vegetables Bourbon Street Bread Pudding - served with vanilla ice cream and caramel Complimentary tea or coffee and a cash bar available for alcoholic beverages
The dinner is limited to 55 guests and has historically sold out very quickly, so call 904-692-1777 to check on availability and to make reservations. The donation of $65.00 per person includes gratuity and directly supports HAWKE's mission of rescuing and caring for injured wildlife in our area. Advance payment with reservations are required (no walk-up seating will be available) and a vegetarian dinner is available if requested with reservation. Your reservation must be confirmed by calling Melanie Stage at 904-692-1777 and sending a check to HAWKE Inc PO BOX 188 Elkton, FL 32033. You can also reserve your seat from the HAWKE website, www.hawkewildlife.org.
This is one of the rare opportunities you have during the year to make a needed contribution to a worthy cause and enjoy some of St. Augustine’s finest cuisine at the same time.
For more information on the dinner, please call 904-692-1777 or visit the HAWKE website at www.hawkewildlife.org.

10:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Event Type: Art
Cost: $45-65
Simple and Direct: Small-Panel Oil Painting for Traveling Artists Instructor: World Traveler, Artist Jim Mott www.jimmott.com
November 7 Saturday - 10am to 2pm All skill levels Whether you're a traveling artist who wants to use oils or just trying to fit oil painting into a busy life, there are several techniques that will enable you to work more efficiently, effectively, and with greater freedom. Modern day itinerant artist Jim Mott will share an approach to oil painting honed during his many Itinerant Artist Project trips, "trading art for hospitality across the USA." In seven months on the road, Mott has done over 350 small-panel oil paintings of the American landscape, working on colored gesso ground, without easel, solvents, or special mediums. His expressive, small-panel paintings also reflect a philosophical preference for uncluttered engagement with his subject matter.

Modern day itinerant artist Jim Mott will be in town the weekend of November 7th to share his unique perspective on art, some stories from the road, and painting techniques developed over 30,000 miles of art road trips around the USA.
"Simple and Direct - Oil Painting for Artists on the Go" is the name of the workshop. You don't have to be a traveling painter to benefit from the presentation. Anyone who's having trouble finding enough time to do creative work will find inspiration, encouragement, and concrete methods for making the most of even short breaks. And you might want to come just for the discussion of life as a road artist.
Since beginning his Itinerant Artist Project in 2000 - "exchanging art for hospitality across the USA" - Mott has arranged to live by his art and without money for about one month a year: traveling the country, staying mostly with strangers, and painting over 400 small-format oil landscapes along the way. His unique experiences include paying a speeding fine in Montana with artwork.
Mott and his Itinerant Artist Project have been featured in American Artist Magazine and on the NBC Today Show. He has written a number of articles for the Daniel Smith Catalogue on painting strategies and methods. The workshop will include technical demonstrations, painting time for participants, and an informal exhibition of several paintings he plans to do in St. Augustine in the days before the workshop. Registration ends October 30,2009. call 280-0614 or register at www.ccpvb.org ccpvb members: $45 non-members:$65

What is an Audubon Nature
Walk?
Audubon Nature Walks are
relaxing two-hour strolls through local parks and neighborhoods.Participants explore all facets of
nature, not just the birds.Led by
St. Johns Audubon volunteers, the walks are both educational and fun.They are open to the public.No experience necessary!
The Lighthouse
neighborhood may seem an unusual
place to find a variety of wildlife, but it never fails to produce an
interesting variety of birds, wildflowers, and signs of other critters that
share this area with humans.Possible birds include American oystercatchers, willets, sandpipers, plovers,
egrets, and herons which forage in the creek and loaf on neighborhood docks.The mossy old oaks provide cover for
woodpeckers, warblers, and hawks.
The boat ramp parking area is
practically in the shadow of the St. Augustine Lighthouse.Find complete details at
