A steely sun rises over the river, touching a gray St. George--it's a Thanksgiving sky that reminds me of the Thanksgiving skies when I was a kid. Maybe a touch of snow later in the day? Maybe not, but it's cold enough for it.
We have a lot to be thankful for this year: health, a happy, safe family, good and dear friends.
This year we have one more thankful note: our oldest became engaged last night to a wonderful young man. We've watched their relationship grow and develop for these last 3 years and they are a joy to be around. They love each other in a way that's more mature than their years, and their happiness is infectious. It's a blessing that her father and I might feel, even more than they, as we both realize how rare such a deep and healthy love is to find.
What a lovely image, congratulations on the engagement of your daughter.

What a beautiful picture (very Novemberish). We still actually have quite a few leaves on the trees! Won't be long, though. So did the engagement happen at your place? (Or did she wait to tell you the news after calling for directions?) I'm so glad you are excited about her "choice"! I hope that'll be the case for me when/if the time comes with my kiddo.

I loved the pink and purple sunrise, but I might even like this one better. It's simplicity is striking.
Gotta get on that Photoshop class so you can remove the wires! :-)
Congrats on your happy family news!
