Description
Here is the other lone wandering Turkey alone by himself, while his brothers or sisters were off in pairs.
Little did I know, when I uploaded that image it was Thanksgiving Day in Canada.
Hope you all had a good one.
These guys are sort of pretty in their own way, but if they get rained on, they surely do have a stink smell about them.
I much perfer a store bought Butterball myself.
All post work done in PSP 9
All comments are always most appreciated.
I hope all of you all in Canada had a Happy Thanksgiving.
Hugs,
Susan~

Nice shot Susan! Don't think I'd eat turkey again, if I had to wash one and pluck all the feathers! lol Well done my friend! Hope you're staying warm and feeling better today. Steve :o)
Great shot, Susan ... we don't have Thanksgiving here in the UK - but he certainly looks like a prime candidate for the table if we did! Take care Mike
Beautiful work...... I also prefer Butterball. Aloha
This is very beautyfull hon. The colors from his feathers are stunning. Love the blured background too. Hugs Ilona
Ah - poor Turkey...what to say about?! Excellent shot, sis!!!!
they must not be very afraid of people, but a very dangerous time for the critters.beautiful capture Susan
wow he is a pretty one, we always do thanksgiving at our house so this is getting me in the mood! great shot, hugs from ann and sunny my poodle puppy !
A beautiful capture - love the colours! Thanks Susan - we have a wonderful Thanksgiving with lots of turkey, except ours was (cough..cough..) cooked! Beautifully done image!!
Wild turkeys are quite lovely. To think they were almost thje USA's national bird! Beautiful Susan.
The best kind of turkey shot there is :) Im with you on that one hun - a store bought Butterball lol Great image of the turkey hun and love what you did with it in postwork too S Awesome!!
Very nice capture. An excellent pose as well and presentation. Wild turkeys are pretty and stately and much more colorful than the ranch raised... but not as plump... :-)
Great photo hun!And sounds liek you uploaded it just in time!
They are some of the silliest birds!Excellent photo!!
wow suan your sense of humor is showing that's the best news lol: This is a great photo I love it: well as far as thanksgiving in Canada looks like this one got away lol: totally wonderful hugs ))
Wonderful work Susan very nice colors too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a beautiful wild turkey... this is an excellent capture, Susan ! I also like very much the wonderfully done presentation !!
the American wild turkey is one of the prettier birds. this is a great capture.
This is a cute image, Blush. They do have pretty colors on them, around the face. Neat pic. Huggs...Silkylady...
Don't shoot, my feathers aren't plucked yet???? You shoot your turkeys after plucking them first? I think it would be very hard to pluck a turkey while it was alive. I'm sure they don't enjoy being plucked alive either. After being plucked alive, I'm additionally sure they are glad to be shot and put out of their misery and shame. I hear it's easier to pluck them if you boil them a bit first. You don't boil them alive and then pluck them too, do you? Oh... the pain of it all... Ok.. I'm pulling your leg here Susan. As stated before, I don't mind eating one as long as someone else kills and preps it first and I don't see it all. I got a pet yellow chicky when I was a kid. It grew fast and was given to a farmer friend. A few months later we were invited over for chicken dinner. You guessed it. I ate Peepsie. I didn't know it was Peepsie until after dinner. Now you know why I'm the way I am..lol. Hugs and great photo dear Susan. Dave :^)
Great capture Susan! So now you know why they are called game birds! ;) LOL on David above!
LOL@ Dave's comment...Never thought of it in that light... That is just what came to me at the moment he he... Oh well it was late at night what can I say.... I am just glad I got the shot of his brothers and sister or just brothers or just sisters who knows what gender they are he he and the one of him looking so proud and stately...Like point the camera yeah so longs as it is not a gun... Have just felt silly all day I guess from the pain med for my headache I took... Thank you all for the wonderful comments....Your the best Love n hugs Susan~
Love the colors and the blured background! Great photo!
beautiful capture Susan ...!!! and hey turkey time is comming up soon again here wow cant believe it where did the year go? ... love your post work too... and hope your feeling ok thinkin of you lots here... big hugs!!
Turkeys always have such a lonely look at this time of year! LOL :0)
Another great shot! He sure is a handsome fellow, for a turkey! :o) I'd much prefer a Butterball too, as they taste pretty yummy, and are much easier to handle. Hope you are having a great week. ((((hugs))))
Yah, and they are so STUPID that they will drown in the rain. No one knows how really beautiful they are until they see a real one up close though. Their feathers are like burnished metal. Love this one, hon.
What a cool shot and I am sure it wasn't easy to catch one alone like this :) My experience with these birds is that they are mean creatures ...LOL... they came running after me the last time I saw wild Turkeys !! I didn't want to take their pictures :P Great capture !!~BRAVO~!!
