THANKSGIVING BLESSINGS

   Hi Dear Friends!  We had a perfectly lovely day with one daughter and two granddogs in attendance-LOL!  Girly and Captain Button are spending the holiday weekend with us while our older daughter and family went camping in NC in a cabin.  She called yesterdayand said it was so beautiful there, right on a lake!  It was such a beautiful day here with lots of sunshine, food and wildlife!!
   The Egret was here on the little Lake off and on all day.  I tried to get a photo shot of him in flight as he crossed to the other bank and finally did but could not catch a close up shot of him.  My Mallard Couple came as usual and spent the day swimming in the lake.  I just love all the birds we get to see right in our own back yard - I am THANKFUL!

He has his wings spread as he lands on the other side of the lake the first time I snapped.  He zigzagged from side to side eating fish along the way.

So tickled to get this shot but I could not zoom in any closer with my little camera.  I was actually standing in the open window to get this one and was surprised I got it at all!

He is flying here and barely visible under the little green bush across the water hovering over the bank ready to land.

Here he is in the upper part of the photo and the Mallard couple are at the bottom.  Loving the reflection of still vivid fall colors.

Thanks for visiting and for more pictues of Today including our Table and the Granddogs-ha, please visit my Two Happy Blog and Kerrie's Home Journal blog-links are in my left sidebar.  Thanks!

Come again soon, I love your visits and comments!!

More Fall Colors

Last night we stook a short walk in the neighborhood just as the sun was setting. 

I could not believe the beautiful colors!  This picture is from the road looking at the back of houses on a small lake.  The tree dressed in vivid colors is a Bradford Pear Tree.  A man was walking his dog and said he paints so he looks for good pictures, also.  I told him that I paint, too.  I hope to be doing more soon, time just always runs out on my good intentions-ha!

This one is of another very small lake with a little cement bench near the road.  The sun was just hitting the tops of the trees as it set and made a nice reflection in the water.

This is the lake behind our house taken from the road around the corner.  The sun was already sinking below the trees on the far end.

Now, this is the one I would want to paint and would probably leave out the houses and improvise a cabin in the background.  I just love the reflections!

 And let us not forget the beautiful sky when the sun was setting!  Pink puffy clouds and cerulean blue sky...

 Good night sweet Autumn day,
  Good night Sweet Sun, Now rest you may.
Blue Moon will soon be out to show,
 It's brilliant light will shine on earth below.
A guiding light all through the night,
 Till again we see God's Morning Light!

   The circle near the top of the silhouetted tree is a cluster of Mistletoe that grows wild all over in our area of South Carolina and is green all year round. 

   Are you all now ready for Turkey Day?

Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood♫♫

Hubby couldn't have chemo this morning because he was so stressed physically from being up all night with a pain attack.  So The doc said he could skip today and come back on Monday, the regular schedule again.  So when we came home, it was so beautiful out that he took the walking stick and we went around the block looking for fall colors. 
   All these pictures were what we found.  The first one is the back of our house from the other side of the lake on the other street.
   This one had much yellow and so pretty against a clear blue sky.

The sun coming through this maple tree, so lovely.

Finally found some up close color...

I Passed by this little orange bush going and it did not look like much until we came back by and I viewed it between the twin tree trunks, a much more fun shot!

Rounding the corner where we had full view of the lake behind our house, this Egret was standing on the bank fishing.

You can see our back yard where the backless bench is on the left bank about half way up the picture.  I love this picture!

This is another smaller lake that is on the opposite side of the road from the last picture.  Nice reflection in this one too.

I really like the colors in this one, too.  So it really is a beautiful day in the neighborhood!  I can see Mr. Rogers walking in his sweater right now!

Fall at Bass Lake

Autumn is such a picturesque time of year!  And our three day camping trip to Bass Lake, SC was not a disappointment!

The reflection on the lake every morning was like glass! How we love nature in all her glory.

The first night's sunset was just so beautiful and brilliant in color!

Hubby caught several of these catfish that give a terrific fight and are fun to catch!  We always catch and release and freed him back to the lake to grow bigger.....

And of course I had to take a picture of the October Moon!  I had my new camera with me, the Pink one-ha!  And I am very pleased with the photos that I was able to get.

And last but not least, I had to have my pumpkin lites on the camper for the last night there.  It was so peaceful and my hubby Bill slept well to the sound of near by train whistles which we both enjoyed immensely.  If you want to go to a lovely wild place, stop at Bass Lake Campground in SC.  We are definitely going again on Bill's week off of treatment in a few weeks.

Thank you so much for stopping by my little Korner of the world.  I appreciate you all and love your comments!!  Come again soon.

And goodie, I get to use my Pooky's Grandma Witch cartoon that I created last Halloween!  Enjoy! Pooky's Grandma is very outspoken but very sweet and she loves everyone.  She is full of wisdom and smiles.

WEEKEND CAMPERS!

WEEKEND CAMPERS, even Isabella the Ragdoll!  Isabella was not sure about the whole trip but really adjusted very nicely by the time we left.  We were at the Shallotte/Brunswick KOA in N.C.  It is a lovely spot that we have visited before with our daughter, son-in-law and children.  It was the most beautiful fall weekend with chilly nights, warm windy days and blue skies.
