Wildlife

Even though I live within a few miles of Wal-Mart and all the fast food options you can imagine, I am also living within a very rural setting. Every day I encounter some sort of wildlife. For instance, here is a regular visitor to our back deck:

This week I encountered these sweet guys while on my way to my cousin Sharon's house:

On another day I met up with these guys:

And then -- AAAGGHHH!!! -- I did NOT get a picture of wild turkeys chasing me as I ran down the road. Who knew they were so -- cranky? I was too intimidated to remind them that Thanksgiving is coming!
