Thursday Art Date With Rain ... Stripes

Stripes

 

We have much to be thankful for and, I am thinking, we have much to hope that we can be thankful for again in our future ... Hope is a wonderful thing :) Have a delicious  and warm family Thanksgiving ...

Stripes in a still life ...

Stipes in art ...

Stripes in nature ...

There was a farm near where I used to live that bred white tigers for zoos,  circuses  and whatever ... I never approved of them, but my daughter loved white tigers so a friend of a friend got us in to see them.  A sad life for a magnificent  animal.

Thursday Art Date With Rain ... Wisps and Winds

 Wisps and Winds

I will start with an apology ... I was unable to get to your comments last week and it may be hard this week.  Issues are happening here and it is taking my time and my energy.  I will make an effort to get back on track.  

As for today's post, I have many more windy pictures that I could share, but today you just get a sampling.  Hope it captures the prompt in a good way :)

Thank you for your patience ... Have a wonderful Thanksgiving week :)

Veteran's Day

 

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was opened to the public for the first time in over 100 years ... the response was heart rendering.

There are many veterans unknown to each of us who are in need of support ... we should find it in our hearts to be there for them.  

Thank you for your Service!

Thursday Art Date With Rain ... Soft

 Soft

When I think of soft, I think of warm cuddly animals ... especially those that have shared my home with me.

Then there are those that live outside of my home ...

You would be surprised how soft the feet of a Great Horned Owl are.

Baby Turkey Vulture ...

Little Molting Screech Owl ...

Surrogate Mother Barn Owl and her adoptees ... 

Baby Kestrel

Then there are the miscellaneous softs ...

Finally, I have had the privilege of sharing soft with a number of out of the ordinary softs.

She is sneaking a taste while I am trying to feed another deer :)

 I can never get enough soft, but I think I have taken up enough of your time so ...

Hope you have some warm cuddly soft to share in your lives ...
