Just Doc and I for dinner at our cabin this year - but we made all of our usual dishes, and enjoyed a cozy day together. Today we have our tree up, and will begin decorating for Christmas. Only one short month until Santa arrives.
In the photos you see my portions of the meal - but you should have seen what Doc loaded on his plates! So glad to see he still has a hearty appetite. (We put our feet up and enjoyed our pie in front of our TV in the early evening. ( In the bottom photo you see my pumpkin pie sitting on my lap, while next to me Doc was devouring a sizable slice of apple pie with ice cream.)
A thankful heart is a happy heart. Happy Thanksgiving!
This is Sadie Sprinkle for the theme “Be Thankful” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr AND because this is Thanksgiving Day in the US.
Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the States! Closest I can come to a themed picture is this scene from Cape Cod on 23 September 1995 of CCR GP-9 No. 1789 powering a passenger train through Sandwich MA.

Thanksgiving 2020 ~ w / masks & social distancing
Our Family at Our House ~ In My Backyard
South Florida ~ Coral Springs, Florida U.S.A.
We refused to let it stop us. We were safe. We wore our masks.
We social-distanced. We safely had our day of love and laughter
with the people that mean the most to us, and we're glad we did.

Photo of the Month - Spotlight Group - 11/30/22

Can you imagine Thanksgiving in the early 1900's along Mormon Row in Jackson Hole, Wyoming?
Up early to feed and milk the cows....a stop to pick up fresh eggs from the chicken coop....and the cold wind chilling you deep to your bones?
But your Mother is in the kitchen stuffing the turkey....and your Dad is chopping firewood....and your siblings are celebrating the holiday with song and dance.
A simpler time.....a simpler holiday. But still filled with warmth and laughter.
Here's hoping your day also has some of those simple ingredients.
Laughter. Warmth.
Happiness.
"Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse." — Henry Van Dyke
Rural autumnal scene of a rusted, old barn and a farmer harvesting a field of corn. The verse from Psalms just spoke to me and is my wish for Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving's eve n_n.
David, Travis and I spent the night in Boston at Jay's house.. 'twas a fun night.
I love photos like this.. I don't get them too often with David in them, because he's "camera shy" (which I am slowly breaking him of >;D).
I don't remember what we were laughing about, but it was real.

Is it ready yet my dear?

Photography offers us the opportunity to show gratitude for some of the things around us that are often overlooked: trees, rocks, streams, etc. Without a camera, it is easy to walk through the world blind to the wonders around us. But with a camera, we are forced to engage with our surroundings and open our eyes to the millions of little worlds around us. With deeper exploration we discover that common everyday things aren't boring at all. I am thankful for this.
I share this photograph today because I made it on a local trail in the seasonally named Thanksgiving Ground Forest. What drew me to the scene was the opportunity to juxtapose the row of trees against the low-lying frozen pond in the background. One of my favorite creative tools is to try to mix two things together in a unique way. Like an experimental baker, I like to mess around and see how things work out. Toss some trees and a pond into the mix, pop it in the oven, and see what comes out. It doesn't always work, but it's a fun way to spark some creativity. In this scene, I thought that I could engineer the composition to make the pond look like a sky, which intrigued me with its horizontal white lines. These were not clouds, but rather breaks in the shadow over the frozen pond. Call me a menace, but sometimes I like to try to trick the viewer with my photos.
I can trace my inspiration here to a fantastic photograph by Gabriel Stankiewicz which was featured on the cover of the third volume of the NLPA book. Had I not seen his photo, I would not have seen this scene. With so many talented photographers out there, it is not difficult to find inspiration these days. I am also thankful for that.

I hope those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving had a lovely day, and to those who don't, I hope your day was lovely regardless! My cat Bloom here certainly had a sweet time. He slept through about 25 people in a room singing songs together. My little brother even put some corn cobs on him, and I just had to get this photo. So adorable!
Pumpkins, Grape vine baskets, apples, dried flowers - all colors of the harvest - Thanksgiving season
Today in Canada we celebrate Thanksgiving.I am thankful to God for sending His only Son ( Jesus) to pay the price for my sins on the cross for me and all who will believe and except His free gift of salvation.I am glad I do not have to be good enough or earn my salvation. It was bought for me by my savior Jesus Christ and to Him I give thanks on this day!
Hopefully your Turkey will turn out better then hers.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! God bless you all.
