Happy Thanksgiving - 2010

"Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light."
- Albert Schweitzer
I hope you and yours are having a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. A few years ago I got to see these wild turkey gobblers who were in full strut, trying to impress the ladies (aka: turkey hens). This was a fun picture to take. I was about 30 feet away walking parallel with them. They were walking very slowly and deliberately and would turn side to side so the hens could see all their beautifulness. I got lucky and they briefly decided to face the same way - at the same time. If I took one step toward them, they would slowly start to drop their feathers. As soon as I took that step back away from them, their feathers would go back up.
