Wild Turkey's and Paradise Valley.....

I have moved my dad twice, and for some reason I never take any pictures. The last time I was there, I was awakened by "gobble gobble sounds"- seriously! Right outside, under the car ports, were a flock of beautiful turkeys! They were opening their fans out full, but I just couldn't get a picture of that straight on. My dad said they came down from the mountain everyday and that you were not allowed to feed them....I have only ever seen the scrawny skinny type of wild turkey - but these guys were huge!
Here's my dad....
...a few shots of the grounds - which are gorgeous - i wish I had more to show you!One of the few pics I have of the apartment.....just before we moved Dad back to Woodland....

I enjoyed seeing the turkeys (there were some down the street last fall, but they were much smaller than the ones you saw); and, it's nice to see a photo of your handsome dad.

What a fantastic thing - to have wild turkeys running about the place!

We certainly do miss things like that in the UK.

VERY interesting blog, love the artwork, my wife does altered art as well, but I do love your 'spoons'.
