Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates..Have a happy holiday and weekend.
I am linking up with NF Winged and Skywatch Friday
I just wanted to say how thankful I am for my family and friends and my wonderful blogging friends. I am thankful for simple pleasures I enjoy doing like skywatching and birding..
The Wild Turkey is the largest gamebird in North America, they live in the woods and spend their days foraging food like acorns, seeds and berries. They are covered in dark feathers to help them blend in with the woodlands.
Did you know Benjamin Franklin wanted to make the Wild Turkey the national bird of the United States..I do prefer the Bald Eagle as our National Bird. I am hoping these turkeys have been pardoned..now run and hide turkeys.
Hubby and I pulled over into a parking to catch this sky, one of my simple pleasures is enjoying sunrise and sunsets. I will also be enjoying having my family over for Thanksgiving dinner and some yummy desserts like my Derby Pie requested every year. Enjoy your Thanksgiving and I wish everyone a safe and happy long weekend.
Thanks for visiting my post and blog and I always appreciate your comments.
