Thankful Thursday and Little Things Thursday

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, November 7, 2021

This airplane, an F-105 Thunderchief, is mounted on a pedestal at Veterans Memorial Park in Tupelo. Remember on this Veterans Day and every day to be thankful for those who serve in our military forces.

Have a blessed day!

Iuka Mississippi, USA, November 6, 2021

Since Thursday, November 11, is Veterans Day here in the United States, I decided to show you this mural that honors the soldiers of the American Civil War and the history of Iuka (pronounced Eye-you-kah) in northeast Mississippi. I like the way the late afternoon sun enhanced the colors.

General Grant and General Rosecrans were leaders of the Union Army. General Price and General Little were leaders of the Confederate Army. The mural was painted for the 150th anniversary commemoration of the Battle of Iuka. The other panels depict historic places in the area.

Have a wonderful week!

4. Wildlife

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, November 13, 2017

Harvestmen, Opiliones, look like spiders but they are not spiders. They do not weave webs, and are not poisonous. They are called Harvestmen because they are most often seen during the Autumn harvest season.

5. Thanksgiving Cactus (Floral Friday Fotos)

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, November 16, 2017

Schlumbergera truncate is commonly called Thanksgiving Cactus in the United States because it blooms in November near the time of our Thanksgiving Day (November 23 this year). They are natives of Brazil and are most often grown as houseplants here.

I hope you have a wonderful week-end!

It was a beautiful day with deep blue skies.

The sun was so bright that there were a lot of reflections on the memorial stones.

This is the mainmast of the World War II heavy cruiser USS Tuscaloosa.
