A big help.

Lucy was a big help while I computed.

Briefly

I was fortunate to see the rising sun briefly appear above the horizon before disappearing behind a deck of clouds.

Canadian Pacific Railroad Holiday Train.

The CP Holiday Train came to my part of the world today so I went to see. There are actually two trains – the Canadian train and the US train. This was the US train; on Monday it will begin making stops in the States.

This is the 21st year the train has made its journey to collect food and funds for local food banks. So of course I donated some food and money to our local food bank. The hook to draw people to the event is that a musical performer performs a short free concert at each stop. The performer(s) on this years’ US train is Alan Doyle (of Great Big Sea fame) and his Beautiful Band. The weather was not bad for the end of November – overcast, a light breeze, temperature about 33F or 1C.

I was fortunate to see the show, and fortunate to be in a position to donate for people in need.

Difficult

Tracking the Turkey Vultures on as they wheeled and soared on this windy day was difficult. I was fortunate to capture this image.

It’s good to be alive, to see such a spectacle.

I’m very fortunate to be able to capture such images during my work day.

Hi Fitzi.

I’m blessed to have you in my life.
