Just wanted to wish a very Happy Thanksgiving to my kids, all my local friends (including all those wonderful nature-nuts I tend to hang out with, LOL), relatives and friends overseas, and of course all my good Canadian Flickr friends who celebrate this special holiday. A special thought to those of you who are unable to spend the holiday with family or friends - I know it can be a tough time. By the way, I didn't have a pumpkin or a pie to photograph, but wanted something orange (which I associate with Thanksgiving), so here's the tiniest water droplet (could hardly see it!) on a sunflower petal for you. Just another attempt to figure out how to use the Raynox 250 macro lens that I bought quite a while ago, but really all I have produced with it so far are total blurs. This lucky shot was a little better than that, LOL. Of course, I think every day should be Thanksgiving Day - we have so much to be thankful for! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Thought of you, Suzie, needless to say : )

Of all places, I photographed this little Squirrel at the Calgary Zoo, LOL. However, a Squirrel is a Squirrel, no matter where you find one. Always cute little things.
