Sooooo... Dan and I are at Blind River walking around and Tom Turkey appears and is walking right to us . I at this point really don't want Tom getting to close to me , so I kept Dan who said Tom was not going to bother me between Tom and I . Dan and I go on our merry way enjoying the beautiful day and we turn around and there is Tom .... he is following us ! I once again got behind Dan well except for getting this shot of course . Tom is lucky I am a animal lover and only had my D7000 with me and not " Smitty " ... my Pink 38 special .

Tom must of thought you & Dan had some goodies for him or he was just curious. The wild turkeys in my area just fly away. Excellent detail on this handsome fella ... glad you got a shot in with the D7000.

Fantastic in every way Marsha, such detail, and color, and focus. I do know they can have an attitude. I'm glad you did not have smithy with you. :) Tigs♥ =^..^=

Gosh! He was a big fellow. You must have been eating something and were not sharing, how did you get out of that situation? Great capture.

He wasn't following Dan. He was following you, Marsha. This handsome fella took a liking to you. Nice and clear shot.

OMG, that sucker is huge!!! Always amazes me how things don't seem that big until you see them in person. Great colors and textures on him showing through Marsha! Superb shot!

Tom should also be lucky that Thanksgiving is still a little ways off - Indeed a very DANGEROUS time for a stalking turkey!

Nice capture...Faved...

You got a good shot of him. He was of course following you to become a photo star. He should be well pleased !

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
