Brother Snake, Sister Ivy

It's Thanksgiving, a day and a season of wishful thinking. Undoubtedly gratitude is a lubricant on emotional health and is highly recommended for channeling energy into positive achievement. Gratitude makes your day better and your life longer.

Bittersweet and cat brier berries

Thanksgiving discovers beauty in the short days and dreary light of November. Although the landscape is not animated as diversely as in summertime its aura of beauty is quietly inclusive.

Elemental subtleties delight the eye. They interplay on the surface of the quarry.

Milk snake

Midday sunshine warms creatures of two legs, four, six, or none at all.

That sunshine translates into the movement of a serpent  across granite,

or basking in a woodland glade after leaf fall.

Familiar Bluet

A damselfly rests on a cluster of poison ivy berries, long after the plant's lustrous leaves have dropped away.

Harmonies of purpose make perfect tableaux on the land. Thanksgiving unfolds in the acceptance of possibilities.
