Happy Thanksgiving!

Even in a year as difficult as this last one, there are always things for which we can be grateful. The beautiful animals that roam freely through the forest around us are among them. Below are some great images of Tom Turkey strutting his stuff. He is a magnificent animal indeed! I am grateful that such a beautiful creature lives right here in our valley and once in a while puts on a beautiful show!

I am also grateful to Dennis Havel for taking these wonderful photos and sharing them with everyone on the blog. He has sent a lot of fantastic images over the past year and I want take this opportunity to thank him for sharing his talent with his neighbors!

Whether you are spending your holiday in Woodland Valley or going to visit loved ones in the big, wide world, I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
