Friday Five: Let There Be Turkey!

Anneliese has been assisting me in my efforts to photograph our flock of Wild Turkeys. She simply stands at the back sliding door and goes ballistic! I sneak out the side door and off I run, with the camera in my hot little hands!

My first attempts were pretty sad. It was raining, and the pictures came out very grainy. Ugh! But today, I was able to run out and get the pictures that I wanted in the bright sunshine.

So here are my Friday Five Favorite Turkey pictures!

I’m not sure why I love these guys so much. Perhaps it is because I have watched them grow from the tiniest of poults into full grown turkey birds!

Perhaps it’s because they now know the crazy turkey lady and they allow me to get closer and closer without fear of my hurting them.

In their own special way, these turkeys are really quite beautiful.

You are probably wondering if I will still eat turkey on Thanksgiving. Yes, but it is not a wild one, and it will come from the freezer!
