Signs of winter
While on a walk, I found a thin layer of ice on the Vilas Park Lagoon and some frost on the boardwalk. Winter is coming.

I felt lucky this woodpecker paused in the open for this photo. I ended up with quite a few outtakes (like below), following her while she jumped around looking for treats in the trees.

Thanksgiving 2020
Like this rather plump squirrel I saw on a walk today, I ate Thanksgiving dinner alone (a first for me). But after a family video-chat and some phone calls, I realize I have much to be grateful for today, despite everything that 2020 has thrown at us. Happy Thanksgiving!
