thankful for the path

 We are delighted to welcome November with its spirit of deep gratitude and thanksgiving. Can you already feel it in the air? We sure can. There is no better time to use our creative tools (whatever camera suits your fancy) to shoot in gratitude.

This month we are celebrating our One Word Project with the help of HelloCanvas as we use the word  thankful to inspire us.

Among a multitude of other things, we are thankful for photography. For our sisterhood. For being together. For friends and for family. For our creative path. For coffee in the morning and tea at night. For the color of the leaves. For the sun in they sky and frost on the ground. For warm fires. For music. For food on the table and for our many countless blessings!

We are also thankful for HelloCanvas as they remind us to not only shoot with gratitude but to celebrate what we capture through our lenses. Creating a canvas print of something you are thankful for is a perfect way to honor what we are most grateful for. We are excited to be offering a month full of free canvas prints courtesy of HelloCanvas.

Here's what you can look forward to this month:

Each Friday of November we will host a mini-photo contest. The theme? Various creative twists on this season of gratitude, of course! The prize? A 20x24inch print from HelloCanvas.

And if that's not amazing enough, they will give away a stunning 36x48inch canvas print as a grand prize to one thankful winner from our OWP Flickr Pool at the end of November! Plus, 4 honorable mentions for the month will win 20x24 inch canvas prints as well. 

To be included in the Novemeber OWP contest:

Please enter your thankful images to the OWP Flickr pool.

Please tag your images "thankful" & "hellocanvas" so we can find your images.

Please show hellocanvas how thankful we are for them by visiting them on Facebook and Twitter. 

Winners will be announced the first week of December.

So, let's starting seeking out all the things we're thankful for. We can't wait to hear what's on your heart and in front of you lens. Do share!

I'm so happy to be here this morning and invigorated by this month's word. I am endlessly thankful but today I am especially thankful for the Earth, the changing season and the last days this beautiful season: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7265965@N05/6305284013/in/pool-1046943@N23/.

THANK YOU ALL, for continuously inspiring me.

This works out perfectly since I'll be participating in 30 days of gratitude. I have an image in mind that would look great on a canvas. So excited for this month and viewing all the images to be thankful for!

A facebook status read, "If the only things you had when you woke up this morning were the things you thanked God for the night before . . . would you have anything?"

I am so thankful for so many things, I am excited to be able to capture them and post them in this contest.

What a wonderful idea for November! Gratitude is something that fits into everyday... if we let it.

I'm thankful for the clutter, as well as the coffee, as a reminder that I have much and cannot complain about what I don't have.

As well, shortened days and less light have already hit Canada, so I'm thankful for any light we get.

Oh how I love that path! I can't get enough of photos of that path! Thankfulness is a great theme for the month. With winter coming and bringing short days, weak light and monochromatic landscapes I've been thinking about Camp and shooting from a place of gratitude always. It will be great to practice it in the coming week. Plus, the canvases at Camp were so gorgeous so a great prize awaits the winners!

I so excited about this month's word and for the contest
but right here, right now, i am thankful for this group of ladies that inspire me every single day here at Shutter Sisters. For the challenges they create and for introducing us to new products and websites to help create keepsakes from our own photographs.

There are definitely lots of details like that to take into consideration. That is a nice point to bring up. I provide the ideas above as basic inspiration however clearly there are questions just like the one you carry up where a very powerful factor will probably be working in honest good faith. I don' know if finest practices have emerged round things like that, but I am certain that your job is clearly recognized as a fair game. Both girls and boys feel the affect of only a second's pleasure, for the remainder of their lives.

who, for the sake of pleasing the king, had been obliged to assume an amiable mien towards this whole rustic rabble of Flemish burgomasters, and to regale them at his H?tel de Bourbon, with a very "pretty morality, allegorical satire, and farce," while a driving rain drenched the magnificent tapestries at his door. http://www.digbbc.com

I took 1 st mortgage loans "goodfinance-blog.com" when I was 25 and this supported me very much. But, I require the commercial loan once more time.
