Shadow Shot Sunday

The shadows aren't as sharp and dominating as I would rather have for an SSS picture .. but .. and there is always a "but" to my rambles here, isn't there?
It is Canadian Thanksgiving weekend .. these odd little gourds and my "Kitty Halloween Treat" dish seemed to go together expressing a very favorite time of the year for me ..
I am very grateful for every bit of my life and family.. human and animal, past and present .. I totally love Autumn, and if you haven't guessed ..
I TOTALLY LOVE Halloween ... keeping the kid alive in me.
I hope Tracy from Hey Harriet doesn't mind an appreciative ramble from my end of the world .. just to say "I get how lucky I am, and I love every speck of it!
Now what you have to do, is go see the amazing Shadow Shooters over at Tracy's place, including Tracy herself, who has taken the time and effort to keep us in our shadowy creative loop .. thanks girl!

We are gearing up for Canadian Thanksgiving (which I still laugh when I say, because it used to just be 'thanksgiving') here in Americaland! I have invited four people over for turkey AND ham tomorrow, and it's gonna be AWESOME. :D

Good shot, a seasonal affair as well. I had a delicious Butternut squash souplast night at dinner and more squash today, baked and dressed in brown sugar and butter, with turkey breast.
I love the colorful gourds. I love the Fall colors.
Hope all is good with you. I've been busy with no end in sight. I'll try to get back more often.

Peace
