Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!

I really believe this is my favorite holiday in a lot of ways.  Besides the feasting and celebrating, the opportunity to really reflect on what I'm grateful for is so welcome.  As much as I'd like to remember gratitude everyday, all the time, that reflection does seem to get lost in the hubbub of work, work, and work!  We have to remember we just don't really have to have all that we have.  Gratitude reminds us that we are fortunate, that we have all that we need in this very moment.  Those of us able to have a computer, be unrestricted in our communication, have enough food and sleep for the energy to work online, to not be abused or in danger of war, how very much do we have to be grateful for!  And how good is it for us to feel that gratitude!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, ONE AND ALL!

And Here are Some of the Wonderful Beings I am grateful that I share life with:

Tere

    

 

 

 

Princess...grooming Tere!

Beautiful Cuba

Po Po (Thinking "you weirdo!" as Cuba shares himself with us!)

  Poody (the cat formerly known as Murray...sitting on my favorite Japanese maple!)

Hi,
I have been looking at your Etsy shop and I love your photography. My husband has an Etsy photo shop, and he is starting to teach me about photography. I'm taking a year off after getting my M.D. and learning about photography is something I am interested in.
The crows in your photos are awesome. My last name is German and crow is part of it, so I have a thing for them.
Please keep posting! :) I'm adding you to Google Reader to stay posted!
