A katydid stopped for a rest on my front door. This is SOOC except for some minimal cropping. He stayed on the door for at least 20 minutes while people went in and out of the door at least three times.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!

No, it's not a turkey. I haven't seen any wild turkeys lately so this resting duck will have to do :)

There is much to be thankful for, no matter what our circumstances are. An attitude of gratitude is always in season.

Here's hoping your day will be filled with family, friends, and community! God bless.

Black-tailed Deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus)

"The black-tailed deer is one of nine subspecies of the mule deer. It was first recorded by the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-06.

Black-tailed deer live in the temperate coniferous forests along the Pacific coast. These forests are characterized by cool temperatures and lots of rain, but an overall mild climate. Black-tailed deer do not therefore migrate in response to seasonal changes, unlike some of the other mule deer subspecies. Instead, black-tailed deer often spend their entire life in the same general area.

Black-tailed deer can be distinguished from mule deer by their larger tail, the back of which is completely covered with black or dark brown hairs. Mule deer have smaller tails in which only the tip is covered with black hairs. Black-tailed deer are generally smaller than mule deer."

This guy took a brief rest during the rut. When the rut is once in full action there’s no more time to rest…southern Denmark

This big fallen tree is a great rest spot for Charlie when we go walking.

This year I really taught the Human it is ok to take a break and she deserves to rest. Here, we did so on the living room floor. You can almost always take a break anywhere!

This 6 footer was resting on a fallen tree just above a swampy area. Maybe catching what light breeze there was or.....waiting on his next meal. Taken at Occoquan refuge, Virginia

Thank you in advance to everyone that comments and/or faves my picture. They are all immensely appreciated.

Laura Ellen Bacon's Course

Course is deeply curvaceous work that descends into the River Cray, a chalk stream*, at Hall Place. Being peaceful yet uncanny, having a quiet, seeping stillness but also a momentum that seems to be guiding its weight towards the clear depths below.

My lovely bicycle - he's having to take some enforced rest as I have injured my knee, but hopefully it won't be too long before I'm back in the saddle - HSoS!

The lonely an mournful burying ground of long departed souls where the Endless: Permafrost wreaks havoc on their final resting place. slurl - maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Haraiki%20Bay/4/88/23

I was looking up at the sky and taking photos of the beautiful clouds above when this fell in front of me.

There's so much life all around. The fields and trees are green and vibrant and yet this leaf chose this time of year to find its final resting place.
