OK, inspired by Larry’s California Turkeys, I had to share a MIchigan Turkey. And while putting those 3 images up, I pulled out a small selection of other shots from this year, around the house.
On the Turkeys, we have 2-3 distinct groupings, all of which converge around the bird feeder when I put out seed in the morning. And at this time of year, 3-4 Toms will come strutting through to try and make an impression on the females and younger males. The three shots in this image set are all the same Tom, he is slightly smaller and less aggressive than the others, and so he gets pushed over to the side where I can get his portrait without the others cluttering up the frame. https://adobe.ly/2Ofq5xU <https://adobe.ly/2Ofq5xU> stan > On Mar 3, 2021, at 10:51 AM, Paul Sorenson <pentax1...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Larry - > > Doing your own repairs can be a royal pain in the ass sometimes, but...revel > in the fact that you can still do it.
