Thankful Moments from Share Six

As Thanksgiving approaches in the next few days, I am so grateful to the blog contributors who faithfully each month take the time to put together their take on the monthly theme.  Without them there would be no Share Six.  You ladies are amazing and I love being a part of this group with you.

I am also thankful for each of our wonderful artists who contribute not only on the Facebook page but also on the Instagram page.  Interaction is key and we love seeing all your beautiful work on our page.  Thank you to all of you who have contributed.

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter the words, but to live by them ~ JFK

I am personally grateful that this year has been a culmination of a long wait for my daughter and her fiance.  That he is finally home and that within the week we will have a wedding.  I am thankful that I have the opportunity to share in this beautiful moment.  I cannot wait.

As always at this time of year (although it should definitely be all year), taking the opportunity to reflect on those around us who may need more than we realize.  It may be someone who is older, someone who is lonely, someone who may be dealing with an illness, someone who has a new baby. It is always a blessing to reach out a helping hand.  I was taught very early in life that it is not what we receive but what we give.  So give someone a hug, share some laughter, take a moment to sit down and chat, love on someone.  All of these little moments may be huge in someone else’s life.  Happy Thanksgiving to you all  ~  Sharleen

I am thankful for the gift of photography, without the passion and dedication to improve that I have for this amazing hobby I would not have the many, many captures of my children that I hold dear. These images are priceless to me and I feel very humbled and grateful to be able to look back on how much they have grown over my photography journey so far.

Thanksgiving: A time of gratitude for the abundant blessings in our lives. When the world seems hazy and dark, gratitude always brings my heart to the light. To hope. May your heart be filled with thanks as you see and seek light in your days.

We wish you and your family a very happy Thanksgiving.  If you are traveling, please travel safely.  Take time to be still in the bustle of the day, enjoy the moments, tell you loved ones how much you love them.

Take some time to remember those men and women who are actively fighting the fires in California and give thanks for people like them.  Give thanks for all the lives that have been saved.  Keep those that have lost so much in your thoughts as well.

Happy Thanksgiving  

 

 

Guest Highlight: October 2018: Shooting through

Congratulations to @linds_shedd for this stunning {Shooting Through} image which was chosen by Lynne Grant Photography.  Lynne chose your image for the following reasons:

I love everything about this, the light is just gorgeous, the lines from the swing leading us through the image and the serene way this little guy is just lounging on the swing. Perfect capture.

Share Six: November 2018: Silhouette

This month Katherine of Cobert Photography chose the theme Silhouette.  What a great choice this month.  I did some searching for different definitions on the word silhouette.

Wikipedia said on Art “A silhouette is the image of a person, animal, object or scene represented as a solid shape of a single color, usually black, with its edges matching the outline of the subject.”

In Photography “Silhouette photography is a wonderful way to convey drama, mystery, emotion and mood in a picture. A silhouette is defined as a view of an object or a scene consisting of the outline and a featureless interior, with the silhouetted object usually being black.”

Below is what the blog contributors have come up with for this month.  Take some time to click on the images and follow the links, or click on the first image and follow the links within the blogs.  Let us know that you stopped by.
