Turkey Day

No, not Turkey Day as in Thanksgiving. Sheesh, the 4th of July was just yesterday, give me a break. Yesterday was a Bear Day, but today was a Turkey Day in our yard! You just never know what you’re going to see when you look out the window around here. Just a half hour ago I caught something out of the corner of my eye in the front yard. Turkeys! About four or five females and six babies! The babies have grown quite a bit since I last saw them crossing the road a couple of weeks back. This is the first time I’ve ever seen them in the yard. The females kept clucking to the babies and hurried them along out of the yard and back into the woods. They were kind of skiddish about appearing on my blog, so the pics aren’t the best.  Camera shy, I guess. Afterwards I realized I had the lens on the wrong setting anyway, so I was lucky to even get these. So please excuse the slightly out of focus effect and just enjoy the wildlife along with me.

Welcome, I'm Lynne. You know me better as a 'new' Jersey Girl. But now I've moved once again, this time to North Carolina. Here I write about my thoughts, good food, and of course, dogs.
