| Falls Colors at Mallard Lake |
As someone who cultivates a sense of gratitude every day, giving thanks for being alive and healthy and able to enjoy the simple things on my outdoor forays, I still appreciate a day devoted to Thanksgiving -- especially the part where I get to stuff my face with my wife's excellent cooking.
I had a little bit of a laugh this morning when I saw a story in Science News about how giving thanks "feels a little cringe," but is actually good for you. And why shouldn't it be good for you? You can't do gratitude without opening up and making a connection with something beyond yourself.

| I watched this great blue heron for a while on the east end of Mallard Lake. It strolled around and cocked its head a few times, but never made a strike, finally opting to fly across the road in the hope of better hunting. |
