Our beloved Pensacola

As we all have seen the images of devastation caused by the historic flood Tuesday, I find myself very fortunate that we did not receive any damage. Sadly though, my Facebook feed is a constant reminder that so many have lost so much.

Here on the Gulf Coast, we are quite familiar with natural disasters (hurricanes). Our community is resilient. The rebuilding process has already begun and many grass root organizations have formed to lend a helping hand.  

If you would like to help, please check out the Help Flood Victims in Pensacola Facebook page @ https://www.facebook.com/helpfloodvictimsinpensacola.

Instead of a design post today, I would like to share with you a photo essay of the place we call home. Featuring some of our beautiful neighborhoods and beloved landmarks.

And of course the people of Pensacola and the many annual events that take place.

McGuire's Run, bringing in approximately 10,000 runners, is one of the biggest parties in town.
