Wordless Wednesday: Wild Turkey Hen

Wild Turkey Hen
"It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit."
- Robert Louis Stevenson

    Love that quote! The hen turkey looks like she is in a serious hurry to get into the cover of those trees. Great image. :)

    I am surprised she is by herself? Hubby saw a few of ours running up the road last week. But I haven't seen any since last time hubby snapped their photos in our yard. I hope they are hiding well until Thanksgiving is over! hahaha! (I would never eat one that has been feeding in my yard... but some people do & even raise them)

    These birds are cool. I used to live in a place where flocks of them would walk down the street and cruise right through my yard.

    GrammyMouseTails - don't worry, there were four other turkeys straggling behind her. I saw them while on vacation in Paw Paw, West Virginia.

    We used to have some running around our suburban neighborhood in Atlanta. Some guy raised them. They would jump on the hood of my car if you didn't drive by fast enough!

    Wild turkeys remind me from a distance of pea-hens. Thanks for sharing this, & have a safe & enjoyable Thanksgiving!

    That's a site you don't see everyday! My oldest didn't believe turkeys flew, so we had to show him videos on YouTube.

    Normally I think turkeys are awkward looking birds, but this one looks downright elegant.

Giveaway: Clear Quartz Dagger Earrings by WireQueen

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 108th commenter, Andalene! Accessorize an outfit and rejuvenate your spirit at the same time! Michelle of WireQueen is bequeathing a beautiful pair of clear quartz earrings to one of my readers. The design is named "Midwife Healer" in honor of the midwife that delivered her second daughter. The four sided dagger beads are different lengths and embraced by sterling silver wrap with surgical steel earwires. She has already cleared the crystals, but if you ever need to recharge or remove unwanted energy, simply place in a window that is beaming with sunlight. Michelle believes that the Creator gave to all things a purpose, including gemstones. She covers as little of the "face" of the stone as possible, but still secures it safely in its setting.

Jewelry Giveaway: Braided Bracelet by Rica Jewels

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Eugenie Wu for submitting the randomly-chosen 799th entry. Rica Jewels will email you within 24 hours with instructions on how to claim your prize. The winds of March are making me wonder why I haven't learned to properly braid my hair yet. Not only would my tresses get less tangled, but there are so many pretty patterns available online now. The only braid style I ever mastered was how to make friendship bracelets back in the 1980s. Daniela of Rica Jewels offers a much more intricate braided bracelet called the Kusma Bracelet. The mixed metal bracelet is made with silver, bronze and copper. The beautiful bracelet is 7" long and 0.4" width and can be bent gently on the edges to better fit the winner's wrist. Yes, you read that right. Daniela's giving the above bracelet away to one of my readers! Rica Jewels has several marvelous metal and beaded bracelets for sale. Daniela received a bachelor’s degree in ...
