It is coming soon - American Thanksgiving. So late in the year, it crowds into Christmas. They have developed orange Poinsettias to accommodate this cross-over.
The other thing it has in timing that is difficult is the American election. This sets up difficult and troublesome situations. For example, Trump has been ruining American Thanksgiving since 2015 when a poll showed he was the politician most likely to ruin the Dinner. The headlines about Trump and Thanksgiving in 2015, 2017 and 2019 were things like: "How to talk to Trump-Loving relatives at Thanksgiving." During this election campaign, Trump predicted that if Biden becomes their next president, the Americans will have to bid farewell to Christmas and Thanksgiving. That is a definite "ruin Thanksgiving" headline.
On the other side of the ocean, the UK does have a sort of Thanksgiving - it seems to be November 26th this year. Here's a quote from a website named wayenglishcourse.co.uk: "The American thanksgiving is not celebrated in the UK because no one had to be thankful for their new land and good ocean trip."
Our picture today is compensating for the diminishing colours of our landscape that November brings. It is a lovely Florida sunrise in 2016.
I wonder when we can expect the best sunrise/sunset colour here in Niagara. Is there a time of year when it is best? In terms of locations, Port Dalhousie and Niagara Falls have dramatic sunrises/sunsets. One dilemma for Niagara Falls is that it has the most dramatic ones during the coldest winter weather.
