It took much reserve not to photograph a turkey for this week’s Sunday Stills Challenge. Ed asked us to come up with some creative photographs of subjects beginning with the letter T. While spending Thanksgiving with some friends, I had a helpful assistant in the form of my friend’s 13 yr old daughter.
So here goes……
1)Tilapia.
2)Turtle (A beautiful tile work art piece made by my friend)
3)Tent (Bonus: Tiger Mask)
4)Thyme, Turmeric, and Tarragon.
5)Trotting.
(My horse, Baby Doll. From my archives, edited with Picnik. Thank you Colleen.)
6)Tree.
7)Tea
8)And the Teapot.
9)Telescope (Our friends built an awesome observatory, with a retractable roof, in their backyard and invited us to view the night skies on Thanksgiving)
10)Me looking through the lens of the telescope.
11)Truck.
(My hubby, and his driving partner, were able to arrive here the day after Thanksgiving and get my van’s brakes repaired. After three looong weeks with no transportation, I was very THANKFUL to have them here to help me get back on the road………And here is hubby’s truck, not on the road, but on our driveway, in front of our house)
12)Truck Thief and Trailer. (My mare burglarizing our ranch truck)
13)Turkey Cookies (See, I had to sneak some turkeys in this post somewhere)
I hope everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving enjoyed a wonderful holiday. And for everyone else, I hope you all enjoyed a terrific weekend.
Check out Sunday Stills to see how other folks have met this week’s challenge.

Excellent post, yours always are. You have such an interesting life.
Whaoo!! You deffinatly nailed this challenge and creative to boot. Is there a way for your friends to connect a camera to the telescope? Those would be some amazing pics..:-))
i love your horse trotting photo!
Good morning! You were imaginative as usual....the tree is my favorite. I like the boardwalk/pathway leading to it.
I loves me a red truck, bet you were happy to see that pull into the driveway! Nice shot of Baby Doll, and that is a beautiful tree.
Wonderful. I've never seen so many different things with "T".
Great selections Lisa. I really liked the turtle mosaic the best. Glad John got home to fix your truck. Hope you saved him some turkey. :)
Very nice photos. I love the ones of babe!
You have the most awesome "T" shots! That telescope is giant! Wow! My kids would love to look through that!
Wonderful T's! Your photos are still amazing.
Missing your visits.
Have a great day, Gail
That's quite the telescope! The turtle is wonderful.
Love the black and white shot of Baby Doll trotting. The color in the halter and American flag makes it an amazing pic.
I had to get help from my daughter to find "T" items too. Kids see things that we just don't notice anymore. All your pictures turned out well. That's so cool that you have friends with their own personal observatory. My husband has been talking for years about retiring in New Mexico and creating his own little observatory. We have a huge telescope just sitting in our garage that we rarely get to use because of the cloud cover.
Holy turkey, what creative shots, Lisa! I love the telescope! That is huge. What did you see in it??
That's a very nice little collection of "T" pictures. I really like the picture of the tree.
WOW! All so great(fav's Trot and Truck Thief)...but when I came upon the Telescope..WHOA..that is BIG!
Fun Liss!

Those are great! I love the black and white horse with the red bridle! And the truck thief is precious! Love it!
WHat a fun series - and I have the SAME package of Tilapia.
BTW have you ever cooked it in the microwave? It's incredibly tender that way.
Mmm. I'm hungry. I'm going to make some right now.
That's a beautiful piece of tile art that your friend made! And your Turkey cookies are quite artful as well. That is one huge telescope your friends have. What were you able to see with it? The composition of the teakettle shot is nice, but my favorite has to be Baby Doll. I love the picnic treatment, it's awesome! That would look very nice framed.
I think the telescope is my favorite just because it's so unusual and it would be so much fun to look thorugh it and have a guide. The Truck Theif is also a great pix...your mare is CUTE!
The horse eating out of the back of the truck made me laugh. That is one gigantic telescope! The turtle mosaic is beautiful! thanks for visiting my site and commenting! I enjoy your photos!
Love the Turkey cookies! I must be hungry.
Fun pictures. John's truck is awesome.

Oh, the telescope was a wonderful surprise! I have been wondering where I could put a roll-off roof observatory for my telescope too! Their scope is beautiful, what fine woodwork! Thanks for sharing that :)
Wow! Some creative shots. That telescope is amazing, did you see anything good? And bonus points for the clever insertion of the requisite turkeys! Love them!
Good job with the T's..what a great collection! I love your tree..I guess I must be a tree kinda gal..LOL! That telescope is awesome..how wonderful for you to have such good friends with great star gazing equipment..retractable roof..I am so envious. I love the night skies..they are an adventure:)
Great pics! Very creative.
Those turkey cookies are so cute! Happy Thanksgiving :)
T-riffic! Great shots as always.
What a cute post! You put a lot of thought, creativity, and work into it. I especially liked the telescope.
