Last night I was lucky enough to get this shot of the moon. We purchased a new digital camera not to long ago and I have to say that it is impressive. Some of the pictures that I have been able to shoot I would never have even attempted with my old one. Nature is a passion of mine. My family and I hike the local parks and trails as often as we can. But some of the prettiest sights have been right in my back yard which is where this picture was taken. I love to take photos of places that I have been knowing that no one will ever have a shot exactly like mine for nature is ever changing. The seasons, the lighting, the weather is always changing. I guess the same is true with people too. I like to use the pictures in decorating my home. It is like taking a piece of our adventure back with us. Freezing a moment in time.

Another family Thanksgiving has come and gone. It almost seem that as one holiday is over the next on its way. I remember when I was little it took forever for them to get here. Now as an adult they are here and gone in the blink of an eye. In the hustle and bustle I sometimes wonder why I put myself through this. For me something always reminds me why. I have been blessed with a great family and equally great friends. This is a picture of my niece enjoying the turkey that I prepared. The look of relish on her face as she devours the leg makes all the work worth it. We had a house full of very satisfied people. There are more out there who could not make it home for the feast. You know who you are!! We all missed you guys and love you much. Maybe the next. But just know that I am thankful for each and every person who has, does and will touch my life.
