This self-described Turkey Queen is at again. It’s one week until Thanksgiving (cue the Angel choir voices singing now – aaahhhh!), so I couldn’t help but share a photo of this handsome little turkey I took in a Minnesota barn a while back. I mean, if you can’t share a turkey photo or two in November, when can you?
Most people would say turkeys are not the most beautiful creatures in the world. True enough. But I love the challenge of trying to take decent photos of them. Most of the time, something is off – the lighting is too dark or too light, or the turkeys just aren’t paying attention. But sometimes, especially if I flash a little bling bling (turkeys always seem to notice something bright and sparkly), they’ll come right over to me and let me shoot away with my camera. In fact, they will often come a little close and try to peck right at the camera!
Curious birds, they are. And I have many more photos where this one came from, so I’ll be sure to share some of my favorites in future blog posts.
In the meantime, who’s prepping for the Thanksgiving meal already?
(Remember – my organization, Minnesota Turkey Growers Association, has a ton of preparation tips if you have questions! And to learn more about giving #foodthanks via Twitter and Pinterest for both our nation’s food and farmers, visit http://www.foodthanks.com/.)
