Sepia Scenes: Turkeys On The Lawn


They came looking for food dropped by the little birds from the feeder and they ate and ate.
When they were STUFFED (smile) they decided to sun themselves. After all, isn't a golden brown color on the turkey best!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! MANY, MANY BLESSINGS!

    Brilliant timing. Great humor. Lucky you to have turkeys in your yard. The nearest I would get to a turkey would be in a pen at a turkey farm. I like yours better.

    The turkeys looked as if they got their belly full and decided to rest. Giving you a great chance to "shoot" them.
    I am so jealous of your yard critters that seem to show up daily!
    Happy Thanksgiving, Carletta!

    They came looking for food? You gotta wonder... don't they know what time of year it is?

    And yeah, golden brown looks good on them!

    Those turkeys aren't shy, are they? A couple of them flew across the interstate in front of us the other day. Wish I had a picture of that when it happened.

    Loved the puns that went with this post! Those turkeys are no fools, chosing to have dinner at your house rather than be dinner at someone else's!

    Good thing they entered a yard where they would only be shot with a camera. Have a great Thanksgiving!

    Hi Carletta,
    As always I am the last one. I simply can't remember to get these posted on Wednesday.

    Plus this week my PC was down until yesterday around noon.

    What a wonderful post considering the holiday!!

    Wow and the turkeys came right to you.

    Great entry this week. Mine is here.

    Well those turkeys know who to trust I guess. If that was the only way for them to get shot and browned till golden, there would be a lot more of them around, don't you think? Happy (belated) Thanksgiving Carletta!

    Wow! You've got turkeys in your yard? Amazing! I'm so pleased to meet you, Carletta. It's always wonderful to meet another retired teacher. I actually have quite a few retired teachers in my circle of bloggers. It's a lot of fun. I always feel like we rather understand each other.

    I came by through Sky Watch and then saw that you were a retired teacher and decided to browze around a bit. You've got a very fun blog and it's fun to see what West Virginia is like.
