Just click on the post title, read the rules, sign up and play with us! So! How is your world this week? Have you taken time to see the beauty there? What is it about your world that makes you smile or laugh or feel grateful for? Well, it has been a stormy, windy, cold week and they're predicting snow over the next couple of days! But who knows???? The first shot was just an incredibly lucky break taken Saturday evening and it still takes my breath away! And the last shot was taken ten minutes ago, the snow is falling and quite heavily!! If we would learn what the human race really is at bottom, we need only observe it in election times. — Mark Twain |

Thanks for sharing your outstanding photos and Mark Twain's witty quotes!
Thanks for your visit and kind comments! I wish you a great week. Our weather forecast predicted snow! Well that's pretty early for my country!
Wonderful pictures Sylvia and the words are so thoughtful :)
Love the light!

That moon is just spectacular. We are back in Fresno, and with the clouds, did not get to see it. In SF it usually rises over the bridge and makes a great scene. Glad you shared yours.
Wow! These are so beautiful! After all this time I'm still amazed by the beauty of the PNW. Great shots!
Snow in Seattle and it isn't even winter yet. We're not expecting snow at our elevation but cold temps after it passes means I had better think about protecting the citrus.
Beautiful shots and lovely quotes!
I wish you a great week.
You're right - that first photo is gorgeous! Have fun in the snow - we have quite a lot with more due to fall this week...
I have illusions, therefore I live. It´s that simple. These facts made more sense today.
Beautiful photos, Sylvia! Seattle sure is a gorgeous place. :)
These are all wonderful shots. I love the way you started with the moon and ended with the snow.
Outstanding moon photo. Winter is sure arriving with a vengeance--a student of mine is stranded bewteen here & Eugene, can't go either way.
I was in Vancouver in the evening when I saw a dusting of snow on the mountains behind the cityscape. There was a soft pink glow all around. On the way home from the city the full moon glowed in the sky. I wanted to take a picture of both these scenes but discovered my camera battery was exhausted. Your excellent photos are a nice reminder of the beauty I did not capture. :)
another lovely collection. that moon shot is wonderful, but if i had to choose, i really loved the misty street shot the most.
enjoy the thanksgiving.
Hi Sylvia, bellissime queste foto del tuo mondo... mi piace molto la foto con la nebbia e le foglie morte per terra.
Buona giornata. :)

A full moon AND snow? Beautiful! As are all the photos in between! Happy Monday, Sylvia, and have a great week!
Wow love all your photos especially the moon. I haven't been able to get a good photo of the moon yet.. I'm not ready for snow but I know it is coming.
So its snowing Seattle, how special is that! Just in time for this wonderful Holiday season. I remember the beauty of the first fallen snow. I always enjoyed it so.
Today I am thankful for special people like you, Dear Sylvia. Thanks, my Friend..
I always look forward to your quotes by Mark Twain! I would be thrilled to be remembered with just one good quote and he had SO many! Your photos are superb! Is this a recent snow on your patio??? Oh my!
Oh...it is a current snow! I am sorry, I didn't read your story well. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Very pretty photos as always, Sylvia. I love the snow, we had a couple of inches of unexpected snow last night and it was nice to see. That first shot of the Moon is spectacular!
Your quotes and Your World are just magnificent! :)
The moon shot is gorgeous, how wonderful that you got it. Our usually-clear skies have been covered in snow clouds for so long now, I've got no idea what the moon is doing.
All of your photos are beautiful, Sylvia. I always love to see them. Sorry you are getting more snow, though.

Lovely...
your photos are beautiful as always. i enjoy the quotes too. have a wonderful week Sylvia and Happy Thanksgiving.
Sylvia you are becoming a master at photography and don't day its a fluke, the other nature shots belie that. Just wonderful.
That last saying of Twain's is one to remember. I just change illusions to dreams.
After a lifetime of being frugal, I am finally learning from my daughter to live for the day for we cannot count on to morrow. I bought myself a lovely bunch of peonies that now grace and perfume my bedroom.
May all your days be happy ones . . . Arija
The first one is magical... as if the twig is holding the moon up. Great pictures and wonderful quotes.
Sylvia! That top shot is so beautiful I almost couldn't bring myself to scroll down. When I saw the snow I kind of wished I hadn't ;>) -- it's a great picture, but I kinda' hated the reminder. (I think we're going to get some here this week.)
Incredibly beautiful moon shot!The quotes are interesting as always.
Beautiful shots. First one is my favorite.
nice ...enjoy the snowfall.
That first shot is a stunner!
We gat a glimpse of that moon Saturday night when we were out. It was wonderful.
I hope you are staying warm and safe inseide tonight. Hopefully the wind will not cause power outages.
Sky mirrors
Dry winds
and crackling leaves
and she looks around
the empty trees,
stark in the dark....
There is a definite chill,
she feels
the roughness on her face,
brownish in patches;
and so she
will sit and pine
and grow thinner
day by day,
till
a sliver of her old self.
Cloud lotions,
and Christmas flake moisturizers,
coming up soon,
make her smile,
and touch her face again.
There will
soon be
Dancing with the Stars....
The time for Thanksgiving has come.....
stunning captures all and very wise quotes!!
Oh love the huge moon. The quotes are very interesting and beautiful.
Beautiful shots, especially the moon.

Great shots Sylvia, it's starting to look cold over at your part of the world.
Ms Sylvia, what a great shot of the moon. Very impressive capture. That full moon looks like a golden balloon tied in the twig.
Stay warm and Happy Thanksgiving!
Wonderful shots.
Magnificent!
Thank you dear Sylvia.

Brrrr, is that this year's snow in the last pic? White Christmas will be almost a sure thing then...
your moon shot is awesome! and the clouds did quite a show. but the snow in the last photo makes me shiver.:p
I like that nwe header of yours. Your friend are very skilled.
I love that misty photo even if the powerlines somewhat destroyes it. And I can see you got some snow too.
Love your headers.
Snow already? Lots of mist and ominous clouds - thought I came to the wrong blog.
Is that a harvest moon? Lovely!thanks once again for sharing your world and its beauty.
Wonderful captures and great words to accompany them.
I hope you don't move to the moon ! and please no snow in your world !
It has been a beautiful moon, hasn't it?? And to think, we are all seeing the same one, no matter where we are! Love your post! Always such an inspiration.
very poignant and poetic world Sylvia..thanks for sharing
What a lovely series of photos, Sylvia. And I too enjoyed Ugich's poem to you!
You already know how much I enjoy your sky shots, but you keep on surprising me, this time with the top one! It's fantastic! Was the bottom shot taken now??? If so, it's another surprise! :-)
Hi JM, yes, the bottom shot was taken yesterday morning just before I posted this. We got about 4-5 inches of snow, lots of wind and temps in the teens. We have blue skies today, but the snow is still here and the temps tonight will be 10-12 degrees. It's very cold!!
Sylvia
Oh, I do love your quotes from Mark Twain! And the snowy scenes are pretty, but sooo cold-looking!
Funny how a patio set can remind you of summer even covered in snow, isn't it?
What a beautiful place!Love the quotes too.Thank you for sharing.
