Hi Jack. Long time no see! :) Brevard is where my mothers best friend lived for years (B4 she passed) and she loved it. She lived up in the hills. She adored the white squirrels there and the history behind them. They had beautiful surroundings and many fun stories to tell.

What a terrific image! Happy Spring to you!
