Yellow and Cherries! Savannah

Our girl in yellow came from a poster I saw in our favorite coffee shop.  I took a photo and waited to find the perfect pairing. Yellow house is totally that pop of color on the street; no need to amplify. Blue house next door is just as bright, but for another time. Yellow makes me happy. As it turns out our Ella here is Ella Rodgers, a young singer who loves songs from other eras.

Every day there's a bit of a wander and here, a sit in Forsyth Park, people and dog watching.  The park is well used for strolling, sports - Frisbee, Soccer, Basketball, Tennis and Hacky Sack, art and the weekly Farmer's Market.  This year we've seen a group of people offering to write poems for you. Last year, just two guys. It's part of what draws us back to this home away from home.

Love the blow-up sofa!

The River Walk here is a major place to visit; strolling along the Savannah River, hoping to see a large cargo ship pass by.  There are numerous shops and restaurants, and recently the Plant Riverside District,  once housing an old electric plan, extended the area, with more shops, hotels and a concert venue.  I came across these chairs set up for an afternoon outdoor concert. Our Lady of the Red Shoes was being photographed by a friend. Perfect moment for my photo.

Always so happy to spend time in Savannah. The Historic District and further neighborhoods offer a wonderful combo of urban elegance, historic architecture, funky art, the River walk and the unique opportunity to enjoy a green oasis in its numerous 'Squares', i.e., parks throughout the city, culminating in  Forsyth Park with its many Live Oaks and its lovely, famous fountain.  

The presence of SCAD - Savannah College of Art and Design adds a special air of creativity and interesting people to the town. And offers a major museum and various galleries. Savannah's Jepson Art Center and the Telfair Gallery are other rich sources of art. as well as the numerous private galleries all around town. My personal favorite gallery is Roots Up, home for so-called 'outsider art'.

Our daily meanderings offer rich architecture, storefronts and homes, and all the signage and oddities that always catches my eye. And like in Cedar Key, many of my collages from the past six years have become historical artifacts, capturing places that are radically changed or no longer there.
