What better way to say hi after a bit of an absence than with a gorgeous sunset? And it's National Beach Day! I took this two weeks ago from Fort Myers Beach in SW Florida looking at Lighthouse Beach on Sanibel Island and the Sanibel Causeway.

Red tide and other algae have hit the area waters very badly this year and it's become an environmental crisis. But there's so much more to do other than the beaches. And the area will bounce back. I could have cancelled my annual vacation there earlier this month but it's so important to support small businesses. And that's why I support the SW Florida Challenge.

I found this in an artist's group and it's so true! Don't buy mass-produced signs from Homegoods, Target, etc., that are likely made in China. Work with an individual to get a beautiful, unique, custom piece and support your community's artists!
