Advice to influencers who are 40 and under: make sure you have purpose beyond just social media. If your entire identity is wrapped up in social media, it’s going to be a bumpy ride for you moving into the future. We all have purpose beyond the digital world, you just have to find yours.

With the persistent summer rains, finding photo opportunities in the past few weeks has been a challenge.

So last week I waited for storms to roll through before heading off to the North Carolina side of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, where I was greeted with a misty, mystical scene along the Oconaluftee River. A few remaining Rosebay Rhododendron can be seen at far right.

Water images tend to be rare for me nowadays, so chasing after some cascades made for a nice change of pace.

Hope y’all enjoy, and have a great week!
