are like ripples of water that grow as they flow out and intersect with others. This shot reminded me of that. I've run into many people here on Caedes who are so kind and giving. I wanted you all to know that one of the things I'm giving thanks for is YOU! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Happy Birdday to you also. I wonder if Swans are any good to eat. Just Kidding. Nice take Hilda.

The Swan is lovely ... the ripples are dazzling ... BUT! ... what really impresses me in this post is the wisdom within your narrative and the sincere sentiment expressed. Thank you Hilda and the Happiest Thanksgiving to you and yours.

Gorgeous image, the swan is perfectly placed in the middle of those fabulous ripples and the floating leaf is a delightful bonus. Very nice work.

Hey Hilda this is quite a column here.:d
A happy Thanksgiving to You also my friend. :d. As a boy at church we had a similar celebration called Harvest Festival it still goes on today in the dwindling churches. The congregation bring food in, and it's displayed at the front of the church, and is then given to the poor, and elderly later on. :d

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes
