Happy Thanksgiving!

A watercolor painting of a Tufted Titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor)
Painting 197. A Tufted Titmouse Outside my Kitchen Window on the Eve of Thanksgiving
(watercolor)

...and a poem for autumn:

The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry's cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.

The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I'll put a trinket on.
Emily Dickinson
