the highs and lows of my work today
no time to really get a good photo (these are taken on the fly) and the day was hazy; but a very pleasant day regardless...
top of mountains and backroad in valley...
= new reply since forum marked as read
Raleigh and then Miami 
my partner and I always consider that we may accidently get into someone's "crop" (or other such activity) and get shot...
just before I took the one up in the mountains, we were driving down a rough dirt road off the Blue Ridge Parkway, and came upon a couple young men running to their car, one carrying a large sheet bunched up like a large satchel, he put it in the trunk, the other man jumped into the driver's seat and they zoomed out... very suspicious 
we thought maybe contraband wildlife?? Turkeys maybe??
When we were working the Willamette National Forest, we were actually warned by a man at the DOT to be careful of "bootleggers" and growers... he was very serious!
great laugh... I meant to say that maybe the young men were taking illegal tukeys out of the forest...
I am often accused of being obscure in my communication
My bad, I think.
I saw the strangest looking turkeys at the Tennessee River. I had to ask my husband to make sure they were actually turkeys. They definitely were wild, not penned up. Only one is in focus because I had zoomed in on them. Had no idea turkeys were anything but brown.
The top one is breathtaking! Thanks for sharing these. 
It's nice to see the green.
They are wonderful, and thank you for them...
