Wild Turkeys

I'm very excited to share my new turkey pictures. I have been seeing several turkeys, hens and jakes, over the past several weeks, but unfortunatly, they didn't stick around very long. I guess they have excepted the blind, however, and on March 22, 2009, they came out and grazed around for about an hour and a half. I was so happy to watch three jakes as they tried to impress a hen.

I have recently upgraded to a D90 and had enough time to get a little video, too. Hopefully I can get some posted soon.

Photo Show Reception

Welcome new members and thank you for joining!

Things have been a little slow lately with the weather, but I have tons of new photos to post and stories to tell.

Just a reminder, please join me 2 p.m. Sunday at the West Plains Civic Center for the opening of my photography show. There will be a reception with refreshments and I will have about 70 photos on display.

Wait just a little bit longer.....

Sunday, I crawled into my blind at about 6:15 a.m. It was pitch dark and freezing cold.

The day was slow and I hadn't seen a thing all morning. My dad called at noon, worried because I hadn't been to their house yet and it was hovering at about 25 degrees. I decided to take a short lunch break.

When I came back at 1 p.m., it was not quite as cold, but the wind had picked up and the opening in my blind felt like a wind tunnel. At 4:30, it started getting dark. It was almost to the point of being too dark to take pictures. At 5 p.m., I decided to call it a day. I called my mom to bring the car around and as soon as I hung up my cell phone, I saw a beautiful buck slowing walking out of the woods towards me. It was too late to call her back, so I just snapped away.
