Thanksgiving Day, November 22, 2012

It's easy to have a thankful heart with colorful sights such as these!

From our dining room window...

Idyllic lake where Laurie and Odel live in Diamond Springs CA...

Handsome black swan, one of a pair on the grass...

Second pair of black swans in the shallows...

New and old amongst the autumn leaves...

Not sure what these bright berries are, but there was an abundance...

Thankful for a walk with friends on a breezy autumn day...

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Wow, great photos. Love the black swan photos. The unknown berries are edible but supposedly mealy and tasteless it is a Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo) http://calphotos.berkeley.edu/cgi/img_query?query_src=photos_index&where-taxon=Arbutus+unedo

Happy Trails!

We've been bloggers since 2007. Love to travel. In 2007, we bought a 2003, 21.5' Trail-lite Class B motor home and started RV'ing. We drove it from Florida to Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia on our maiden voyage! Sold it two years later to buy a 2005, 27' Class C Lazy Daze. In 2011, we traded that in for a 2010 Class A 26+ ft Winnebago Vista ... all of them gently used vehicles. We put on lots of miles each year (14,000 in 2010 alone). We're not full-timers, maybe you could call us half-timers -- in 2011, we left home in April and returned in December! We enjoy hiking and exploring. Like to read, cook and eat! We have fun wherever we are, whatever we're doing. In June 2012 we bought a home in Nevada City CA, but we're still "hittin' the road!" (itchy feet) It's what we do. * * * *

Look to this day,
for it is life,
The very life of life.
In its brief course lie all
The realities and verities of existence,
The bliss of growth,
The splendor of action,
The glory of power --

For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision.
But today, well lived,
Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day.

Google removed almost all my photos from the blog's inception date of 2006 to May 2010, and replaced each one with an exclamation mark. Why? No one knows. Just be aware if you're looking at any post before May 2010, you probably won't see pictures. Wish it wasn't so.
