Sunbeams and corona in a redwood forest, CA, USA
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the United States, a day of gratitude.
As a photographer, one of the things I’m thankful for is the art and craft of photography itself. Photography encourages me to get out and see things I would otherwise miss. I’ve been lucky to witness so many extraordinarily beautiful moments that I would never have seen without the camera tugging at me and telling me to go look – to pay attention to the beauty around me.
And I’m always especially thankful for all of you, my readers. Your participation, ideas, and passion for photography make writing this blog a pleasure. Thank you so much for your support!
I hope all of you have a wonderful holiday, filled with good company, good food, and many things to be grateful for.

Michael: I really appreciate your writing style, like that in the message above. I have read almost all your blog write-ups and your books. Hope to go to one of your workshops to Yosemite one day soon where there won’t be a lot of hiking. My wife and I attended a photo safari in Yellowstone with Brent Paull not long ago. Had great fun. Dale
Thank you Dale, and Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Michael, I am thankful that there are such amazing teachers as yourself who love their craft and love imparting their knowledge to others such as myself. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Thank you for the kind words Jan, and Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Michael, I am Thankful for being on your mailing list. I enjoy all of your Blogs. I took a course from you at Betterphoto.com, and look forward to take one of your workshops one day, possibly Fall Colors in the Eastern Sierra’s.
Happy Thanksgiving to you Jerry, and I hope to see you in an in-person workshop one day!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and Claudia and family!
Thanks for inspiring us with all hour great images, this blog, and all your teachings.Hope to take a private workshop sometime in the next year as when my work allows. I agree seeing all this natural beauty and trying to capture it is always a great pleasure and much needed break from my work. It was nice to meet you out in the redwoods in the very spot where I think this picture was taken. One of my favorite spots.
Thanks again Michael!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Wayne, and thank you for your kind words and good wishes. I hope we get to meet again sometime, whether it’s in a workshop or out on another trail!
Michael,

All of the above David. 🙂 Hope you had a great Thanksgiving too!
