I thought people would have a lot more things to be thanksful for! Although, for a while there, I thought this was another "What's New Pussycat?" photo contest. :)

Another round of very strong pictures for this contest. Good luck to everyone!

I chose larkspur's pic, very cool
 
I went with chroot on this one, but they were all very good!
 
I'm going with turbo in this one because it keeps best with the Thanksgiving theme of being thankful for a bountiful harvest.
 
Moonbear got my vote, cause I am so thankful that I have animal friends.
 
Turbo got my vote too for the same reasons as Moonbear, plus cool colours and arrangement.

All of the photos, as always, are just great. I really enjoy these contests to see what y'all can create. Humbles and awes me every thread.
 
Chroot gets mine, very nicely done. Although Moonbear's cat came very close to stealing my vote :biggrin:.
 
I thought chroot's pic was absolutely stunning. I loved moonbear and shmoe and Integral's pics because I am thankful for the same thing-- but I think I am going to vote for turbo because it really had a nice "fruits of the harvest" feel.

I shouldn't have done this but I voted for my own image because of the way that it makes me feel. I am unemployed due to a medical disability, and my wife is about 10-15 years away from retirement, so she is working primarily so that we have medical insurance. Having reliable, great-tasting, food available means a whole lot more than it did a few years ago. Our harvest was great!
