If you are like most of my readers, you don’t check in every day. This is why my regular feature, “The Month in Photographs,” is always worth a look.

Today the post features July 2025, and I have selected a representative 31-images to tell the story in just a few clicks.

A lot happened: Reaching 99,999 miles on the Rav-4, visiting cool churches, “read a banned book,” a visit from Tim and Titus Black, driving to rural Georgia then Florida, almost half the month with our Orlando grands, theme parks, pools, battleships, bird sanctuaries, family, hotels, church, games, puzzles, a new Subaru, baseball and more.

So click the first photo and then scroll through. I think you will agree that July – though “hot as blue blazes” was also very cool.

Let’s see what August brings. Love and blessings – DEREK
