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.
mama always said
broken hearts are a blessing
and every hand that you hold
holds one hell of a lesson.

The smallest things in this world delight me. Working with and teaching young children for much of my life taught me patience and an appreciation for finding beauty in the most unexpected places. Knowing how to slow down and really look at the world that surrounds us is beneficial for one's mind, body and spirit. May we all learn the lessons that children already seem to know.
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 :-)
At this moment in my life i no longer hunt for the appreciation of others. I have learned to find myself important and to value myself. I no longer have to prove that I am doing.
Thank you honey for reminding me how long you can stare at someone
And never see, really see
I want so bad just to understand how I'm gonna let more time go
Without trying, without trying
We build, we box, we carry on
As people we forgot
Strange we come to find ourselves not knowing we're lost

The BNSF Employee Appreciation Special is running again this year, making several stops in Nebraska and the PNW before heading to California next week. Here is last weekend's special, based out of Stacy Yard in Seattle, WA, making an eastbound trip along the Puget Sound in Shoreline, WA. The train consisted of 3 locomotives, 2 of which are BNSF's newest locomotives celebrating the USA's 250th birthday and 16 coaches in tow.
So I missed Ginger Cat Appreciation Day (yesterday) but every day is Ginger Cat Appreciation Day around here.
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".
A kind of cozy magic that makes the wait and appreciation for Christmas so special: warm lights, sweet scents, and little scenes that spark childhood wonder. It’s the season where even the smallest details feel like promises of joy to come.
White-faced Heron
≠===================≠
It wasn't really a flight, more a jump from a nearby rock.
Another for the White-faced Heron Appreciation Society.
Agassiz Glacier between Boulder Pass and Upper Kintla Lake, Glacier National Park, Montana.
This image is part of my Glacier National Park set.
Agassiz Glacier sits in a remote cirque on the park's northwest side, southeast of Kintla Peak and just west of the Continental Divide, near the Canadian border. It covers about 256 acres and is named after Louis Agassiz, the Swiss-American glaciologist.
It's one of the harder glaciers in the park to reach. It's viewable from the east side of Boulder Pass on the Boulder Pass Trail, a strenuous backcountry route in the North Fork/Kintla Lake area, well off the main park roads. Historic photo points near Pocket Lake and Boulder Pass have also been used for repeat photography comparisons going back to 1913.
Like most glaciers in the park, it's retreating significantly. USGS data shows it lost a third of its surface area between 1966 and 2005, and it's still classified as retreating.
In this image can be seen an appreciation of what a glacier can do to solid granite given some time, exposing mineral beds in the surface rock and etching the rock as the glacier advances and retreats.

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.
