Thanksgiving
"Over three centuries ago, our forefathers in Virginia and in Massachusetts, far from home in a lonely wilderness, set aside a time of thanksgiving. On the appointed day, they gave reverent thanks for their safety, for the health of their children, for the fertility of their fields, for the love which bound them together, and for the faith which united them with their God."
Proclamation 3560 issued by President John F. Kennedy on November 5, 1963
I hope all of you enjoy a wonderful day of thanksgiving tomorrow. And thank you for the kind words of encouragement as I share my photographs and stories with you.
This picture was taken last week in the local forest preserve. Just a half mile from my home, it’s my “go-to” location when I feel the urge to head outside to take a photograph.
I was very thankful that the high clouds with a clearing to the west produced this colorful sky.
Thanks for looking,
Chuck Derus
