I spotted this large white heron, the Great Egret, during a walk in the park with a friend. It was a sunny Saturday morning, a perfect time to just enjoy nature, chat and take pictures. I believe this bird is found across much of the world but I felt it was worth sharing with you.As Thanksgiving approaches I want to give thanks for being given so much each day. A simple walk reveals so many wonderful things. It is a time to smile, look around and appreciate the things that we have.
Kelli is hosting a Thanksgiving event called "Giving thanks" with prizes! She'll be sharing decorating ideas, crafts, poems, prayers, games, table settings, activities for children and a daily cleaning schedule (with before and after pictures). If you would like to join, please go here for all the details, including pictures of the giveaway prizes!
So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. Ge 1:21

Cris,
Thanksgiving in Brazil:
Are you celebrating this big event at the same day as our American friends??
What will you be serving for dinner on Thanksgiving?? As you know the Canadian Thanksgiving was celebrated earlier. I made grilled Canadian Wild Salmon with rice and mixed vegetables. Soup, was a Consommé with herbs, for dessert I served pears poached in red wine and a mixed French cheese plate.
cheers Gisela
