A THANKSGIVING THANK YOU!!

Thursday, November 25, is Thanksgiving Day in the United States.  It’s a day when people gather with family and friends to celebrate all that is Thanksgiving.

So in that tradition, I would like to take a moment to thank the readers of Photographyfree4all!  From 78 different countries, you have stopped by, often leaving a comment or two, and greatly enhanced the interest level of this blog.  You have taught me the intricacies of better photography and even some global terminology that at one time was completely foreign to me.  And I must say, I’m really “chuffed” about that!!!  See, I told you I’m learning new terminology.  (By the way, “chuffed” is a good thing!)  🙂

The image below represents the global presence here at Photographyfree4all!  It’s a photo from what I sometimes refer to as a “drive by.”  I was driving by, thought it looked interesting, and decided to capture a few shots.  It’s also another example of what a circular polarizing filter can do to your colors.

Thursday will find me gathered with my wife, my two sons and their wives, and my four grandchildren.  As I sit around the table with these loved ones, I’ll say a prayer of thanksgiving before sharing a wonderful day together! 

So wherever you happen to be in the world, even though you may not celebrate this particular Thursday as Thanksgiving, look around you and be thankful.  I know I will.

I really hope you’ll leave a comment!  I would love to hear what you may be thankful for today!

P.S.  November 25, would have been my mother’s birthday, too!  So, I will also reflect upon a childhood filled with so much good I couldn’t possibly list it all here.  Sadly, time requires that we say goodbye to people we love.  My father passed away in 1985 at a rather young age, while my mother passed away more recently in 2009.  I miss them both dearly.
