Long before the days of #Churchill, especially during the #CivilWar, the water was often deemed โnot fit to drinkโ. #Whiskey was used as a medicinal tonic and painkiller.
When I was a kid, we had a calendar with the holidays listed in red -- red letter days were celebration days. This painting is a red sail day -- a celebration day consisting of a group of friends getting out into the water, enjoying the weekend, together.

I love this beautiful cathedral in Savannah, Georgia... We attended a service while visiting here a few weeks ago.
Fell in love with this spot along the Georgia coast... I decided to call the picture โ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐โ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐โ ...
It is rainy, but the couple in the secluded Italian alleyway do not notice because they have eyes only for each other. His fedora and her cloche hat give a retro, nostalgic feel, but the sense of romance is timeless.

I love the Great Smoky Mountains where we live... They never disappoint, and the sunsets are stunning. Happy to share a sunset I took above the hazy blue ridges a few weeks ago. Enjoy!
The end of July is fast approaching. Not so long ago I waited for spring, then for the beginning of summer, and soon it will be autumn again. Time flies...
