Happy Thankful Thursday!
A November sunset seen from my deck.
Don't focus on things that steal your joy, count the many reasons you have to be happy! 😊
After a rainy day, hubby and I were off for a walk on the local fire road when we saw the sun dog. The skywatch and contrail was seen from my yard and deck.
I love watching the Blue Jays in my yard, even though they are bullies toward the other birds. It is said even though the Blue Jays act like a bully, they are like an alarm announcing loudly that there is a predator nearby. The Blue Jays are naturally raucous birds, they are smart and learn quickly.
A sun dog are colorful patches appearing in a partly cloudy sky on each side of the sun. Some times they are seen as a ring or halo around the sun.
"The key to being happy is knowing you have the power to choose what to accept and what to let go." 😊
I am thankful for the small things, like seeing a Blue Jay, a Sun Dog and pretty sunset. Live simple and be happy! 😊
I am thankful for all your visits and comments.

DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! The sky is so pretty, and so are the Blue Jays. They are my favoritebirds.
Happy Thursday!

Delete... and I am happy and grateful for all the beautiful photos that you publish!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day, Eileen!
Thank you Ella! Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend!
DeleteI have never viewed Blue Jays as bullies. That is purely a human interpretation of avian behaviour. Each species survives in the way it is generically predisposed to do and this is all that Blue Jays are doing. They visit my yard every day and are very welcome.
ReplyDeleteThanks David. I do enjoy seeing the Blue Jays in my yard, I can usually hear them before they arrive. I love seeing all the birds. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend!
DeleteLindas as fotografias, gostei de ver.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.

DeleteYou're right, we should think on the things we can be thankful for. I'd never heard of a sun dog so that's cool.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend!
DeleteI find the jays are intimidated by the woodpeckers.
ReplyDeleteGreat skies.
Thank you Jenn! Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend!

DeleteI love your pinkish skies and your sun dog and the blue jays. I love blue jays and their attitude. Speaking of attitude I love yours as well. An attitude of gratitude and thanks is huge for our satisfaction and souls. Also, your admonition to live simply. Simply is better for a bunch of reasons.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!!

DeleteIt really feels special to see a sun dog! They are so unexpected and beautiful...in the middle of the day! Love your sky photos! Enjoy your evening!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane! Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend!
DeleteBeautiful photos and thoughts Eileen. It's been so long since I've seen a Sun Dog and I'd forgotten about them. I love the blue jays you share with us. I've always loved them (and red cardinals and woodpeckers) though I don't think I've ever actually seen one live. Maybe once I did but it was long ago. Enjoy your upcoming weekend my friend. Hugs. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Penny! Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend!
DeleteBeautiful skies and Sun Dog, Eileen! I've seen Sun Dogs here occasionally and they are always joy to witness.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Pat! Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend!
DeleteI'm more and more thankful for the small things. That's a pretty photo of that bluejay. Happy to learn about sun dogs.

These are all so beautiful. And what you say is so true.
ReplyDeleteEverything you share today is beautiful in its own way.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sunset and the leafless trees give a wonderful contrast to the pinkish sky! Beautiful collage of skies and the blue jays looks pretty smart.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend
Awesome sky shots and lovely rainbow too ~ and, of course, love your 'feathered friends' photos ^_^

ReplyDeleteHello Eileen
ReplyDeleteyou are right when you say you have your reason to be happy.
I can't quite do that yet, but it will come again.
So now I enjoyed your photos of a beautiful sky. Those kleruen make me happy :-))))) I love lilac, pink and purple so that is really great. You also have your birds looking great again.
