Next week is Thanksgiving already and looking back in the archives on this day, there are several reminders to get you thinking about Turkey Day. Back in 2006, Z-Man snapped a shot of St. Henry’s Lutheran Church in Nisula, surrounded by clouds. This little church is a good reminder that there are so many things in life to be thankful for.

We jump ahead six years, to 2012, with Brenda Leigh who had harvested a good amount of wild cranberries and was processing them to make some fresh cranberry juice. This fruit also can be made into cranberry sauce, one of the favorite garnishes on our Thanksgiving table.

And of course, the main course, these wild turkeys were regular visitors to Donna MacIntosh’s back yard feeding station in 2015. I’m not suggesting you go out and shoot one of Donna’s visitors, but by all means go and bag yourself one from the grocery store. Get your bird early enough so you have time to thaw it in the fridge. ;-)

Since we’re talking turkey, we might as well take a look at today’s video featuring a couple wild turkeys on the side of the road. The cameraman said he pulled over to take their picture and they came right up to the car…one even took a peck at the camera towards the end of the video!

WOW! That's a couple of big boys there!! I've got 7
in the back now....didn't have any for a couple of
years....now there's 7...with one male. LOVE
watching them..they don't get that close
tho....I'll go out and yell "turkey birds, turkey
birds, wheat, wheat, wheat" (that's the sound they
make..not gobble, gobble)...and they'll walk off a
bit, watch me throw seed and come back to eat when
I come back inside! LOVE Mother Nature!

I've always loved that 1st picture and I knew the
2nd one had to be Brenda!

There are wild turkeys all around our area. You
see them everywhere. Hope they're hiding!

I'm with Deb (not literally, of course); that 2006 photo has always been one of my favourites of all time on PastyCam. It truly makes one believe that there must be a higher power out there. Now, I have Boston (the band) stuck in my head.... ;-)

I remember the 2012 pic, soon as I saw it, I knew it was Brenda!! As I've said before, She can do it all !! :=))

I think that Tom sees his reflection in the paint and is strutting his stuff with his tail feathers out, as if to say; "Not with my hen, you don't!".

I like the first picture also. I think it is outstanding.
In keeping with the turkey theme, I hope someone enjoys the following site.

Great picture Zman! Happy Thanksgiving.
