scrub turkeys and sunsets

the scrub turkey was out today

looking quite resplendent
slightly perkier than he was when huddled out of the rain last night

there was a wonderful little moment of a sunset tonight. Even though they are predicting more rain, it may not be as heavy as we have had. Hopefully.
