Happy Thanksgiving

-





Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. - John Muir

Photos taken at the Botanical Gardens in San Francisco.

Margie: Happy Thanksgiving!! It's so cold here that I'm calling this a 3 Margiedale night. I think it'll be that way all week.

Happy Thanksgiving! I really like the color combination in these pictures. This is the kind of thing I try every once in awhile, but I'm not usually satisfied with. I would be with these though.

Joanne...

Those photos are remarkable!

You see... they mean something to me (the first one especially) ...out from the dead-covered ground springs new life- a bright green- it feels so hopeful and promising, to me! :)

Happy Thanksgiving! :)

I like both the poem and pictures, especially the first one, it is sentimental.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
