Why I think this is a beautiful world and I have much to be grateful for - friends who send me flowers while I heal from a small surgery.
This was taken a couple years back. A hard working Fox Dad looking rather tired getting nuzzles of appreciation and affection from one of his kits. Tragically the Mother Fox had been struck by a car weeks before and the Father did an amazing job keeping his kits fed, healthy and most importantly... loved! :)
Saying "thank you", doesn't cost much

Appreciation is a wonderful thing... it makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well ~ Voltaire
For Ian (Psychedelic Surfer), who wrote me a wonderful testimonial...thank you my friend :-)

Yeshua/Jesus spoke to them again: "I am the light of the world; whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light which gives life."
I've always enjoyed studying the gills of mushrooms. The purpose of mushroom gills, also known as lamellae, is to produce and then release spores. When the spores drop to the ground, often they are carried away by the wind.
The link below shares the various ways mushroom gills are attached to the stems. Knowledge is power, folks! :)

Thankfully, you only have to keep a distance from other visitors, not the art in Potsdam's fabulous Monet exhibition.
We went to downtown Seattle for the Gallery Walk. But first, Wilbur had to make a stop for artistic appreciation.

For years, we have walked the trails in our local park. However, today I had a new appreciation for all it offers. I managed to walk about 2 km unassisted on this lovely trail that is paved for the whole way in the park. It was perfect because it was even ground and there are many benches set up strategically along the way. If I needed a break, I could sit before going on. I must have passed about 12 benches and I only used one. Today was a good day. On my more challenging days I might use 3 benches. My hubby went on his longer walk and met me at the little restaurant in the park when he was done. I had the option of grabbing a coffee if I was done sooner. However, we had driven to the park so I had my Rollator in the car with my camera. I got it out and walked along the same path trying to capture a few images. It was so wonderful spending the morning like this and having options to be independent in a reassuring way.
Kahn in the old Terrace Falls Baths. It was hot and humid so he needed to cool off near the end of our walk.
A miniature teapot inherited from unknown sources (but probably my mom), seems to be fake Delft, which she collected. For 120 pictures in 2020 #39 "Elephant appreciation day".
So I missed Ginger Cat Appreciation Day (yesterday) but every day is Ginger Cat Appreciation Day around here.
Grizzly nostrils during the spin cycle, LOL
I was shooting with a pretty slow shutter speed when he started shaking the water off his head. He was just sitting in the river by the banks under some willow branches grabbing a salmon here and there as they'd float by him. Was hoping I'd get at least one nostril in focus. I did, LOL. Thought it made for a kinda cool shot
I hope you can view this on a larger screen. You'll get a much better appreciation for the photo
At the end of 2020, the MRL unveiled two locomotives that were wrapped in two special schemes to show appreciation to both veterans and essential workers. The MRL 4404 was wrapped to thank Essential Workers such as the railroaders that keep America's freight moving as well as all others working through this pandemic. The MRL 4407 was wrapped to thank those that have served, and includes decals from each branch of the US Military as well as one commemorating the USS Montana, a Virginia class submarine for the US Navy that has been under construction since 2015 and is slated to be delivered in early 2021. Both are paired up on an LM sailing past Columbus on a gorgeous winter day.

the idea was to paint your own - but I just didn't find the time. I textured it, however!
