Posting a day early because of the holiday.
I have borrowed a window again this week, mainly because it is one of my favorite window pictures, and it seem so very appropriate for this Thanksgiving week. I’m truly enjoying all of your pictures. Isn’t it amazing how something so “ordinary” can suddenly become a thing of delight and even inspiration when we focus on it differently? My mother taught me that. She was a poet, and almost every poem she wrote focused on the “specialness” that she saw in the “ordinary” people and things in her life. I will always appreciate that gift from her.
Be sure to leave the link to your pictures. And for those of you who live in the U. S., I wish you a warm, wonderful, delightful Thanksgiving!

I’d like to thank you for this “challenge” as it were. Never realized I had so many photos of windows. And now I take new shots specifically to post on Thursdays. Have a happy. Mine will be up late tomorrow.
I’m glad you’re enjoying the windows challenge. To be honest, I had no idea I would enjoy it this much when I had the whim to start it. I just knew I enjoyed looking at pictures of windows and letting my imagination work out who or what they were connected with. Now look where we are …
OK, not the best place to stay for a vegetarian but the view was amazing at http://photovignettes.wordpress.com/2012/11/21/thursdays-windows-week-10/
Fantastic shot, Paul — even though I have to admit that I don’t like to see animals stuffed and mounted.
Also, thanks for your very creative wording in your efforts to get other people interested in the challenge. I really did laugh out loud.
Hey, Sandra! Here’s my contribution to your wonderful challenge: http://goomfh.wordpress.com/2012/11/21/photo-challenge-thursdays-windows-week-10/
OH! WOW!!! Doris, this is magnificent!!!
Thanks! There’s a “series” of such buildings in Athens. This one is right across the Parliament. It was that time of the day. I was in my hubbie’s car, actually. Shot it while we were waiting the traffic light to get green… 🙂
Beautiful image! I should have one posted by tomorrow! z
Hello Sandra, happy Thanksgiving! here is my window for this week. http://lucidgypsy.wordpress.com/2012/11/21/thursdays-windows-week-10/
VERY NICE! You always find the most quaint/romantic/imaginative places to photograph.
Owwh I’ve just realised I hit publish instead of schedule!
It’s fine. I put the new one up a day early anyway, because I wasn’t sure how busy I’d be tonight and tomorrow morning.
Hope you have a great Thanksgiving. Oh what a lovely scene, here is mine for today http://gertrygiggles.wordpress.com/2012/11/22/thursdays-windows-plantation-house-jamaica/
I like your “lopsided” view. And I’m fascinated by those shuttered windows. I can just imagine what it would look like with the sun peeping through all those little slatted openings — and what that tropical breeze would feel like. Is it still a home now?
No it isn’t but they do use it to do Weddings and other big occasions so sometimes the old house rings with laughter.
That is such a lovely scene, Sandra. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Here is my contribution to challenge.

Oh, it’s great! And I’m so glad they kept so much of this original structure. I hate to see buildings with so much history torn down or allowed to decay to nothing.
Happy Thanksgiving to my American neighbours – here’s my week 10 http://beyondthebrushphotography.wordpress.com/2012/11/22/369/
Oh, I like this very much, Lynne — especially the way it looks right into another window.
I just love this window Sandra, I wish I had one just like it. Here is my window for week 10: http://danajoward.wordpress.com/2012/11/23/thursdays-windows-week-10/

I really like this picture, Dana. I wish we still had streetcars in all of our towns. I know their not practical in this day and age, but there’s such a special quality to them that I think losing them costs us something in our community life.
Oh, my! This does grab you! Thanks for sharing all that beauty.
I love the snowy window scene Sandra, it’s a beautiful view! I’m really late getting mine up, and I’m way behind on my blog posting. I had a great Thanksgiving, squeezed in between several busy days before and since, but I’ll be caught up on here in a few days. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas on your blogs 🙂 I love it!
I realized as soon as I hit ‘post comment’ that I didn’t include my link. Here it is: http://learning2hear.com/2012/11/24/photo-challenge-thursdays-windows-week-9-2/
Oh, my! How lovely! Yes, it looks like a house with a story, and I think I’d love to live there. (Assuming I had someone to come in and clean, of course). Wouldn’t that little tower at the top with those lovely windows make a perfect prayer room?
I’m so glad you had a great Thanksgiving. I’m believing for you to have a very happy Christmas as well, and the healthiest, happiest new year ever.
