Thursday Thirteen

1. We had an ice storm here Tuesday and Wednesday

2. This is my forsythia bush.



3. Winter can be very hard on the animals.

4. This is the deer behind the forsythia bush.



5. When I was taking pictures of this deer and others you can't see, one or two of them began making a high-pitched mewling sound.

6. It was something I'd never heard before. I've heard them snort or blow air but never mew.

7. On the other side of the house, I spied turkeys. If you enlarge the picture by clicking on it, you'll see that the closest turkey has very pretty eyes!



8. As you can see, at one point they were dotting the hillside.



9. They moved up along the fence. I took the photos through the window screen so they aren't very good.



10. They look to be a young flock; probably hatched this spring.

11. We were fortunate in that we did not lose our power or have trees fall over the driveway.



12. Wednesday the ice melted; then the wind began to blow.

13. I dream of warmer weather.


Thursday Thirteen is played by lots of people; you can learn more about it here. My other Thursday Thirteens are here.
