ReplyDeleteSo well said, Kathie. There's just one thing I am not thankful for around this holiday is the cruel way turkeys are raised, treated and slaughtered.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Well said. Happy Thanksgiving Kathie!
ReplyDeleteHi Katie...and the list could go on and on "right" ; }
ReplyDeleteThere are so many things, but I think we as a world would rather grumble alot lol
Have a blessed thanksgiving day!!

Hi there - hope you had a good thanksgiving - and I sure the turkeys would rather be on your blog than on your plate!
ReplyDeleteReally like the birch tree shot.

Hi there (again) - thanks for the comment on my "long blog".
ReplyDeleteFor some reason (and I can’t find out why!) the middle picture in the triplet I use never seems to link up! Have asked and asked and asked! I may be one if life’s little mysteries.

Kathie, I hope you and your family had a Happy Thanksgiving. Love the turkey photos. Have a great weekend and happy birding.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathie, I am playing catch up after the olive harvest! so many reasons to be thankful indeed, I try to be thankful every day. There was certainly lots of birds and scenery to enjoy here today. Guess what I have started a separate blog to share more of my photography, I hope you will be interested.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the opening shot of the turkey - what a magnificent bird! Too bad for the species that Ben Franklin did not get his way to have them declared our National Bird - I enjoy your blog very much.
ReplyDelete...well said...hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThere was a wonderful program about a man who who raised 16 wild turkeys from eggs and what he learned about them. It's on my blog under my Nature Notes wednesday meme...Michelle
