November is the month that we set aside, over here at least, for giving thanks. We should make sure we give thanks year round but at least we know we've got a month. :) I was quite thankful in November, let's take a look, won't you.
I had a quick business trip to Bermuda. The weather was horrible two of the three days there. On Remembrance Day, the weather cleared up and I got to see a parade! And then attended my first rugby matches. You can see those pictures in my flickr stream.
My oldest, John, finally completed all of the requirements and passed his Board of Review for Eagle Scout. He has worked very hard and I'm super proud of him!
Speaking of scouts, I'm thankful that my scouts have a good sense of serving as they helped sort food at our local food drive.
I'm thankful that these turkeys still like each other, still make each other laugh, still make me laugh, and will still occasionally pose for pictures.
Finally, I'm thankful that this big guy didn't appear to notice me sitting on the ground not 10 yards from where he came out of the woods. I haven't had a lot of experience with coyotes but I certainly waited until a brush pile was between he and I before I picked up my camera for some shots.
I'm also thankful that I found a few minutes to get this thing together and posted. I hate when I took the photos and then just forget to post. Take a look at the others over at a lil hoohaa. See you next month!

Wow, look at you son's pins!! Congratulations!
Love your coyote encounter!
Good thing you remembered to post :-)
Congrats to John on earning his Eagle Scout. Good stuff. Great shots as always. Rugby is a lot of fun to watch. As for the Coyote ... whoa. Talk about close encounter!
Well done to your son on earning so may badges and well done on having children that will still pose together for photos. Love that they help with serving those less fortunate - another thing to be very proud of.
Congratulations to John on his hard-earned Eagle Scout. All those pins/badges suggest it's a significant achievement and he will undoubtedly call on some of his skills for decades to come!
Wow! We see coyotes in Canmore pretty often and I've even seen them in our Calgary backyard several times over the past 10 years or so. The scariest is when we go out to do night photography in Canmore and hear them howling...every single time, the sound seems to come from just out of the range of my flashlight beam! Great shot. Glad you managed to get your post up and linked in time.
