I have so much to be thankful for that it's not possible to list it all and photographs cover so little of it. Six months ago I was working an extremely stressful job and was not in good health. Because of the health problems I had to take an early retirement and am finally on the mend. Now I just take things as they happen and am learning to enjoy life like I haven't in a couple of decades.
What I can show you in pictures is the peace I am thankful for. To some these would just be pictures of a pasture covered in frost at sunrise or pretty clouds at sunset. To me, however, they represent the time I have gained to slow down and appreciate what is around me. To appreciate the beauty that is everywhere. To appreciate that I have a place to live and a family (some blood, some not) who loves me.

You seem to be in a good place and your pictures and comments moved me. Your pictures immediately conveyed peace, joy, and thankfulness. As a photographer, I try to put my best foot forward when posting pictures and pick those that the content is more out of the ordinary or not something I see everyday. But you put it so well, that these everyday occurrences in nature warm the soul. Just before I viewed your pictures, I looked out at the morning sky, seeing a beautiful blue sky and a small wisp of cloud. It gave me joy. Then I saw your post. Wow!!
I didn't take the time to PP them much or take out the power lines but just another example of the simple things that matter. Thank you so much for you pictures and wise words.

Lee thanks for sharing these 3 pics like that last one.
What you and Gleep715 state is good. I myself take a lot of pics for Me, I don’t care if they please someone else. I take them to record something like first frost or snow of the season or whatever. Or even a dangerous storm. It records the event whatever it may be.

I feel the same way. Processing to remove what I don't want is often the way I go but sometimes it's just pleasing to leave things the way they are.

Nice set of pictures Gleep, thanks for sharing. Sorry about your health problems, The wife and I had to do that also.


In a way I'm thankful for those health problems. Yes, the stress at work made them worse but wasn't the root cause. They were the push I needed to remove myself from the stress and focus on healing. Now the challenge is to adjust finances and hopefully find a way to not have to go back to work at all. Oh yeah, and to learn better photography techniques.

I like this topic. I took this photo a couple of weeks ago. It is of my new grandson and I when he was a few days old. My title of the photo was “What I am grateful for”
