Where’s the camera????
Returning from Elkhorn early Wednesday afternoon, we were enjoying the pleasant drive back home, through the country farming area, talking to each other about the wonderful Temple Preparation Lesson we had just enjoyed with la familia Hernandez. The rich dark soil of the cultivated fields was resting. Residue of the fall crops was visible. There were clusters of trees and much undergrowth scattered all around. Everything was in its winter dress, dormant looking. I have thought while passing this way before, there must be plenty of wildlife in this prairie country. But so far nothing has shown itself.
Coming up over a small rise and dropping down, I suddenly
noticed in the field to my right, large birds walking along fairly close to the
highway. We slowed down and there before
us was a flock of beautiful wild turkeys. There must have been 50 to 60 of
them, just moving across the field pecking here and there in the farm field
soil. I thought, wow. . . Riley would
love this!
The next reaction was, “where is the camera????” Well, it was back at the apartment. Carrumba!!
The mental picture of the wild turkeys will stick forever in my mind.
