I typically don't show family photos, but it was a semi-decent recreation of Norman Rockwell's Thanksgiving (even if the sun overexposed a bit of my better half).

Hellebores aka Christmas rose in December
In the past years I had several but the snow kind of killed them all, just the pink ones survived : this year I will keep it on the balcony

It’s a nice photo around a festive table. The only one not looking too happy is the turkey

My mother would watch out her living room window every evening to see the migration. As she told it, they would converge on a roosting spot around 5th or 6th street at Yamhill or Taylor, that general area right downtown (there is an Apple Store between 4th and 5th on Yamhill, I bought a 15" M3 Air there about a year ago) and commute out at sunrise to wheresoever their corvidian jobs were.

From a recent road trip down the coast. There was actually no light in the "lighthouse" for whatever reason so I added a little dot in LRC for them.

.. a view of Harrison Lake, from the balcony of our hotel room, during an early-December stay in Harrison Hot Springs, BC (2023) - cold, but no rain or snow during the 3-night stay.
