Thanksgiving Sky 2022 #SkywatchFriday

I am going to take it easy today.  Yesterday was Thanksgiving in the United States, a day to give thanks and visit with family, but it can also be a bit exhausting.  Fortunately, we didn't have to travel.

We had our son and one brother in law over for dinner, and a little later, my other brother in law and his wife dropped by.  Small, but that's the way I like it.

Wednesday (we can call it Thanksgiving Eve) we took a walk on the Vestal Rail Trail.  It has been (for us) warmer than usual, and we've actually seen some blue skies this week.  I took a picture of lighting on the dead plants lining this part of the trail.

A reflection in water photo.

Yesterday, Thanksgiving, we walked in the small park near our home.

Finally, right after sunset, in the same park.  A lovely way to celebrate the day.

I hope you had a good day yesterday, too.

    ...the phragmites along the Vestal Rail Trail sure is taking over things!

      Tom, thanks. Now I know the name of these, and I read up on them. Interesting. And quite invasive.

    I love those water reflection pictures, they have a peaceful yet eerie quality.

    Sounds like a nice low key Thanksgiving. I'm glad that you could get outside a little bit. That really centers me on holidays.

    From our house to your house we wish you a belated Happy Thanksgiving. Small gatherings are nicer, I think. Glad you had time for a walk too.
