What a tremendous picture -- I love the reflection of the pumpkin.

Will said…
Wow! Is that the real color of the gourd? Plus you have such depth of field for an inside shot like that. But it does not look like it is lit with a flash? Did you grow it in your garden? I'll be back if I think of any other questions! ;-)

Anna, that incredible photo confirms what I have been noticing about photography. The masters see, and guide the rest of us to see, the extraordinary in our every day surroundings. One of your readers asked a question and I found the answer here: www.thelaboroflove.com/articles/why-is-thanksgiving-celebrated-on-a-different-date-in-canada

Oh! I love this beautiful little pumpkin. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. My son, my mom and I set to cooking early in the day. We have so much fun...and it smells so good.... I think we like the smells coming from the kitchen the most!

Swubird said…
Anna:

Wow! Now that's what I call a beautiful pumpkin. Great shot on your part too.

I don't especially look forward to Thanksgiving because several years ago something changed in my stomach and now I can't eat turkey. Imagine that, no turkey on Thanksgiving.

But I wish you a very happy turkey day, and may you have any things to be thankful for.

Happy trails.

Thanksgiving is such a lovely concept, what can be any better than taking the time to appreciate all that is good in life. Really enjoyed your picture, enjoying the uncomplicated beauty that surrounds us - another great theme for Thanksgiving regardless of what day it is.

Will, yes it is almost the colore. Yes I used flash, otherwise I wouldn't get nice dark background like that. You know also that each monitor displays images with different intensity, as I have noticed on other two monitor screens I have. No I did not grow them, but I collected some seeds for next year. Thanks Will for your input. Good questions as always. Anna :)
