Tuesday, November 23

Farm-raised

We drove out to the country today to pick up our free-range turkey for Thursday's dinner. (This one apparently has a pardon for now.)

It was a beautiful afternoon here with temperatures in the mid-60's, and on the way we crossed a charming intersection where I just had to hop out when I saw this tractor . . .

And this building . . .

And this covered bridge.

This goose has another month . . . and then . . . well, you know.

Wishing you all a blessed and bountiful Thanksgiving!

    Great shots. I love how birds look at you sideways, the ducks do it to and I find it charming. Happy Thanksgiving to you and family. Do the big dogs get turkey too? Mine do...xox Corrine

    Leslie:
    When you can shoot photos like this it doesn't matter that the power plant was out of focus. These are breath taking.

    What beautiful countryside. I feel sorry for the poor goose. Turkeys are ugly. I don't feel as bad for them.
