My November wrapped up with a trip to Florida over Thanksgiving. So instead of having a big meal on Thanksgiving Day, I had a turkey sandwich on the Wikeva River. It was beautiful, peaceful and oh so wonderful.
It was a perfect way to celebrate Thanksgiving Day since earlier in the week, I had the traditional meal with family while everyone was in one place. So after my adult kids dispersed to other locations, my boyfriend and I went to Florida to see his family. And then, off on the river, we gave our thanks.
Therefore, in honor of our glorious world, below are some of the views I saw that day. This is also my submission to Cardinal Guzman’s The Changing Seasons Challenge.
Make sure you check out Cardinal’s blog and November challenge post. It is worth the click.
And for those of you not familiar with the challenge, here is how Cardinal explains it:
The Changing Seasons 2016 is a blogging challenge with two versions: the original (V1) which is purely photographic and the new version (V2) where you can allow yourself to be more artistic and post a painting, a recipe, a digital manipulation, or simply just one photo that you think represents the month. Anyone with a blog can join this challenge and it’ll run throughout 2017.
It doesn’t matter if you couldn’t join the first month(s), late-comers are welcomed.
These are the rules, but they’re not written in stone – you can always improvise, mix & match to suit your own liking:These are the rules for Version 1 (The Changing Seasons V1):
- Tag your posts with #MonthlyPhotoChallenge and #TheChangingSeasons
- Each month, post 5-20 photos in a gallery.
- Don’t use photos from your archive. Only new shots.
These are the rules for Version 2 (The Changing Seasons V2):
-
Tag your posts with #MonthlyPhotoChallenge and #TheChangingSeasons
-
Each month, post one photo (recipe, painting, drawing, whatever) that represents your interpretation of the month.
-
Don’t use archive stuff. Only new material!

Cool shots here of reflections and colours. The tree over the water is great – like a giant hand reaching out into the lagoon to drag some creature from its depths! Views like these deserve thanks… and a turkey sandwich 🙂

I thought it looked like a creepy hand too! I was so glad I could grab a shot of it while floating. I so appreciate the comments…and turkey sandwiches:)

Florida looks great. Wikiva River is that the Everglades? I know there’s a place called the Everglades and I think it’s in Florida…

I think it qualifies in that area.

I love the photo of the bird in what appears to be level flight over the still water. On the other hand, the tree root curving out of the water looks a little like the creature from the black lagoon 🙂

Thanks for the feedback Dan. I really liked the curved root too. It looked like a creepy old hand coming out of the water!

Still water with near-perfect reflections … it does conjure feelings of peaceful. The last photo with the bird hovering over the water sums up the gallery beautifully.
