Happy Thanksgiving! We're thankful for these stunning photos from readers
Sunrises, deer, snails, scenes of domestic bliss and dogs – lots and lots of dogs

One week ago, we asked Capital Daily readers to submit photographs of what they were thankful for. Dozens of you responded with scenes of natural beauty, domestic bliss and dogs – lots and lots of dogs. The winner, featured above, is Kari Peterson and the runner-up, featured just below, is Archer Known. Both will be receiving gift cards to Ottavio Italian Bakery and Delicatessen . Please enjoy our full gallery of featured submissions below.
