A broom on a wall…
A dog on a man…
A boat on the sea…
Fruit in a cart
Shrimp on a plate…
String on a cheese…
Red on a door…
Orange on a chair…
Joy on a plate…
A sheet on a line…
Happy Thanksgiving, dear Blogfriends!
What do you give thanks for?

A big thanks to all of you who played the “Bird from Sicily” contest. The bird will fly off to Bella, whose name was randomly pulled from the hat last night. Check out her very funny blog at One Sister’s Rant.

Jann, as others have already said, these photos are spectacular! A Boat on the Sea especially struck me. I am always grateful for the way I see things differently because of your photographic eye, and the clever way you compose images and words. Thank you, my friend!
And much thanks to you!
Thank you Steve.
Faaaaabulous.
Jann, loved these photos soooooooooooo much…
May I have some “Joy on a plate…, Please?
I am thankful for YOU 🙂
Congrats to Bella!
I hope you had lots of “joy on a plate” over Thanksgiving, Kim! (I KNOW you did–I saw the way your father can cook!)
Love the composition of that broom photo!
Grazie, Sam.
Love them all. Thankful for your website and you. Especially love sheet on a line — hanging laundry makes me smile.
Thank you Rosann. I bet you miss all that laundry in Trastevere. Like happy flags.
Happy Thanksgiving to my US “friends”!! Actually, I’m originally from the US too! Jann, I always enjoy your pictures but these are stunning…love them!
I’m curious… any new work done on your house? Haven’t seen any updates on it for quite awhile…
Cathy–how did you end up in lovely Canada? Thanks for reminding me to post something about the house. I’ll do this in the next week or 2.
Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for your delightful photos.
Ciao Catherine, same to you and thanks so much for your many comments. So much appreciated!!!
I give thanks for the refreshing mini holidays and lavish feasts for my eyes that I always get when I visit your blog. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Ciao louciao–you’re troppo gentile! Too kind. And may I say the same thing about your blog? Always a lavish feast.
Jann, I did a little victory dance when I read the last part of this post! hee hee! Grazie mille! That said, may I say this post took my breath away? Every one of these images is simply breathtaking! My favorite is the “Orange on a chair” but I will definitely take “Joy on a Plate”! Happy Thanksgiving! 🙂
Congratulations Bella! Jann, this has to be my favorite set of pictures! Happy Thanksgiving to you from North Carolina!!
Back to you, Sandee. Love to you all in NC. xxxxxxx
Grazie, Bella. I can just see you doing your victory jig. (And your neighbors got another treat!)
