Mosaic Monday: Thankful

Since Thanksgiving is fast approaching, I thought I would make a mosaic of things I'm thankful for during the past month. November is a month on the edge of winter -- and the spirit of change is everywhere apparent. I love the sense of nesting, or roosting, or turning inward. The days get shorter, the light at dusk is blessedly warm and golden, and our thoughts turn to the light of our kitchens and hearths. Everywhere, there are reds and golds and burnished coppers.

All of these images were taken over the past week. Our spirea bush turns the most beautiful coppery red, and I love the little leaves. I was at my favorite park, Natirar, when I spied the beautiful full moon over the hillside. The other landscapes are also from an evening walk at Natirar. And the owl -- oh, how thankful I am for having been given a glimpse of such a beautiful creature! My husband spotted him (her?) in a tree as we walked to buy the newspapers this morning!

So, today I'm thankful for the beautiful light of an autumn evening, for the last colors of the leaves, for the endless wonder of nature, and for the blessing of being at home for the holidays. If I don't see you all before Thursday, please accept my warmest wishes for a wonderful day filled with light, love and laughter. :)
