Here in Flagstaff we had a fresh coating of snow recently in time for a mountain style Thanksgiving. The San Francisco Peaks right behind Flagstaff also have a fresh coating of new snow. They are almost 13,000 ft. high and provide a spectacular backdrop rising about 5000 ft. above the city elevation. They are an old volcano and dominate the skyline from everywhere around the city.
On a fresh bright blue sky morning (which we have a lot of) driving around town with the "Peaks" as a backdrop and after more than 40 years here I'm am still awe struck by the beauty, especially on mornings like this.
I'm glad to be back home, and I'm thankful I get to live with my wife in a place like this with so many incredible outdoor opportunities and so much natural beauty all around, and also can enjoy the different beauty of 1000 Islands at other times of the year.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Art, I am glad you are back home, too.
