This is a "feel good thread" - feel free to post things that make you feel good.

Given such freedom to post, I cannot help but post a photograph of my raison d'être.  Only a year ago, I feared that I was about to lose her.  But here she is, the cancer survivor, back on the bench and looking good!

A beautiful lady and lovely smile.  

I'll be meeting with the doctor on my mother's outlook sometime this coming week.

Gotta get in on the pretty pics.  Here is a photo that I took from the cockpit on approach to the Pensacola Airport on a Thanksgiving Day afternoon -- just before sunset.

Though we don't get the "fire in the woods" leaf changes down in these parts, we do get some great sunsets.

A most beautiful picture, flyandscuba.

Sometime, I hope you or others will post a picture of flight through mountains and valleys formed by clouds.

I have some cool pics, but none of them on hand here other than this one.  I see your deer and raise you another:

Fly:

That is a beautiful photograph!  

They shall grow not old,
   as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them,
   nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
   and in the morning
We will remember them.

Thanks for the thoughts on my Mom guys.

Flyandscuba - just wonderful - makes me want to get a pilots license.

DD - nice deer - how big can the racks get down south?

Dave -- that is a picture of a key deer, taken on Big Pine key in the middle keys.   The photo was not as hard to get as it might seem -- these guys are very tame.  I had them eating carrots out of my hand (oops -- illegal!), and when I left one tried to get in the car and go with me!  ;)

Seriously, the key deer are sad.  They are not native to the Florida keys and there is not enough natural food sources to sustain them. Most are very skinny. As a result, they come into the sub-divisions and beg for food.  

I did not see any racks at all.
