Playing with a new camera

Trying out my new superzoom camera.

It is smaller and easier to carry while hiking or biking than my DSLR.

Fun .

Turkeys? No turkeys here!

You can see me in the owls eye, standing outside his cage.
The other birds were free.

Bottom Line:

I got away before the turkeys attacked.

On my walk in the woods I came across this gathering of deer and turkeys.
I thought it would be interesting to play the Turkey call from my iPhone Audubon App.

The males became alert, fanned out their tail feathers and then started lining up.

I thought this was really neat until I noticed the turkey hens slowly walking away.

I decided that would be a good strategy for me too.

Yesterday I was lucky enough to be the passenger at a long stoplight

Grand Canyon

The first time I "saw" the Grand Canyon was when I was getting a ride back home from California with my aunt and her friends. I was 19 and would take long naps on the drive probably to avoid having to make conversation with my aged car mates. They woke me up at an overlook and I dragged myself over to the edge and peered over. The canyon was big. I went back to sleep. This trip I was more mature and more appreciative. Bill and I spent 4 days hiking and appreciating the views and the wildlife.
