Thankful Tuesday on a Wednesday

This stormy sky was above us as we took our evening stroll yesterday. Rather a stark beauty. Brightness in the midst of darkness. A reminder that even in the darkest of days some light can be found if we only look for it. Sometimes we just need to be reminded to open our eyes and look around us.

Several of the trails we hike are alongside some boggy marshland. Yesterday in this particular location we watched as two box turtles dove into the murky water. Of course, the camera was still in its case at that point. Will have the camera ready next time. This is near the area that has beaver sign all around. What's beaver sign?

When you see several trees with wood chips at their base you can be fairly certain that it was caused by a beaver. The only beaver we've seen has been a carcass. We know there is one though because of all the fresh cuttings.

Isn't this just the prettiest little flower. Tiny little things less than a half inch in diameter. No idea what they are. Definitely the prettiest thing we saw on our stroll.




Today I'm thankful for cameras that let us share the world around us, puppy dogs that fetch and friendly cats. May your day be filled with beauty!
