In the light of the big holiday that is coming up this week, I'd like to ask if everyone knows how Thanksgiving always ends.
It ends with a "g" !
And have you heard this one?
Knock knock!
Who's there?
Norma Lee.
Norma Lee who?
Norma Lee I don't overeat at dinner!
Anyway...
Knock knock!
Who's there?
Happy.
Happy who?
Happy Thanksgiving!

And a very pretty one it was. See you all again next September, gentians. |
I love how the sun shines through it like stained glass. Note the fancy black dots with white centers near the front edge of the wing. Click to enlarge. |
And its long October shadow. |

Also check out its pretty orange bars and bands. Buckeyes have a wingspan of about 2.5 inches and are found throughout North America. |
They move south this time of year to avoid the cold weather. |
I have seen a lot of buckeyes this week. Even this pair, mating in the middle on the path in the warm autumn sunshine. I wish them all a safe journey to warm places. |
