turkeys iz dangerous

Don't ask me why but I grow positively giddy at the sight of wild turkeys.

I find them hilarious. 

Maybe it's the "gobble gobble".

Maybe it's how insanely serious turkey hunters are with their head to toe camo outfits and accessories. Yeah I know wild turkeys have extremely good hearing and sight and are actually quite hard to hunt.  BUT DAMMIT, IT'S A FRIKKEN TURKEY!!!

Mabye it's because I once saw a show where a man of questionable intelligence went turkey poaching and threw a turkey in his trunk along with his UN-safetied rifle.  The turkey wasn't dead, flapped around, and ended up shooting the guy.  On the show the guy adamantly declared that, "TURKEYS IZ DANGEROUS!"

Whatever the reason, wild turkeys fill me with glee.

And so today when we were out and about visiting Lakefield, imagine my excitement when Sheila spotted a veritable horde of wild turkeys!



I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THEM!!!!!!!!

We also stopped to take pictures of a lake covered in mist.  It was beautiful in a melancholy sort of way.

Here's Dave T taking a picture of the misty lake.

Here's Dave T taking a picture of me while I take a picture of him...at the misty lake.


I would just like to point out for the record that Dave T does, in fact, have feet.    I know it looks like he doesn't but they are there...trust me.

Anyhow, Lakefield was pretty and I got a free Guinness cupcake because of St.Patty's Day.  I really should have taken a picture of it but I was hungry and it was gone in about 30 seconds.

It was a quiet St.Patty's Day but I really enjoyed it.

  1. I like how you have several pictures of people taking pictures of the misty lake, but none just of the misty lake! Also, that's really strange how he has no feet in ANY of the pictures!

    1. Hah! I didn't notice that he had no feet in all of the pictures. Funny!

  2. I watched a "How to Hunt Wild Turkeys" DVD once...I was trying to impress a boy by watching it with him. I couldn't stop giggling, although I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be "verra serious".
