Location: Just outside of DC, Maryland,
Birthday: November 29

Bio: I'm a photographer not a writer. Became a photographer when I realized I was better behind the camera than in front of it. This is an experiment to see if the beauty of my words will ever live up to the beauty of my photographs. so far the photographs are winning, but I haven't given up yet.

I am thankful for the wooded paths

for the leaves of red, gold, and brown,

for the geese that fly above in a V

and the squirrels that scamper on the ground.

For the deer so quiet, who watch with curious eyes

to the woodpecker taping loudly on the old maple tree nearby.

The beauty of life is a gift that we share in every day

so take a moment and be grateful on this Thanksgiving Day.

Happy Thanksgiving, Everybody.

Thanks be to God for the natural world around us...for the birds, the trees, the rivers flowing with water, the flowers and the bees...

I love the geese! To be honest though, as a city girl, I like my nature at a distance. But maybe today, to celebrate, maybe we'll go sit in Central Park and see what scampers by. /R

GHung: Amen!

Nilesite: You don't have to climb a mountain or trek 30 miles into the wilderness to enjoy nature. I'm jealous that you live near something so vast and beautiful as Central Park, hope to visit there again someday. In the meantime, do some bird watching for me. Happy Thanksgiving!
