They wend their way through Sunshine City Cobblestoned, sloped, and Old World pretty; And lined with colorful, homes in glad unity, Streets linked heart to heart, in deep affinity. Up one crooked path, and down to the river, As rosy birds sing in green trees that quiver; And soon arises pearl moon, a glowing sliver, Making the roads to everywhere a bit clearer.

Well, Evelyn, here you’ve triumphed again! We have here in Lexington several just such places, tho they are near a vigorous creek not a river. I keep asking Jim to photograph them so I’d have reference pics to paint from. Super work here! Very inspiring! Thank you!
