<p>Bonjour,<br>

Nature is the place where we can go when the world goes mad. Nature makes sense when the world goes crazy. Maybe we can find some answers and see some light when there is so much darkness. Maybe not. We can try, it's the least and most we can do when we're over our heads in tall grass and working for a better world. Can the spirit of Thanksgiving last all month?</p>

<p>There is light. There is goodness. A little light goes a long way on Monday in Nature.</p><div></div>

<p>Amazing shots this week.</p>

<p>John - Wow! Where's Frodo or some other fantastic creature?</p>

<p>Sanford - Great shot. Where were you, boat etc? We need some of those otters to combat the green crab invasion in the northeast.</p>

<p>David - lovely shot of frolicking fawns</p>

<p>Paul - I can imagine seeing the magnification in a drop of water like yours inspired the earliest lens makers.</p>
