"Rafters of turkeys in our backyard..." |
I can't help but wonder why it is that we only see large rafters of wild turkeys throughout October and November... exactly when they're "in season" and should be making themselves scarce! Strange...don't you think? They are interesting creatures...always seem to be RUNNING. Are they running to or from somewhere?

Memories of summer are found in the SUNDAY POSTCARD ART invitation to create an art piece about POPPIES...
"I am a being of Heaven and Earth, of thunder and lightning, of rain and wind, of the galaxies." Eden Ahbe Thoughts of our fast-approaching winter are found in 4X4 FRIDAY's art challenge... to create a piece of art representative of a FROST QUEEN... |
Frosty morning trees start the day by promising better things to come |
It's usually during the winter months that all the carnivals and mardi gras occur... INSPIRATION AVENUE nudged artists into the mood with its call for HARLEQUIN-themed art...
Carnivale time... evil and funny faces... which of them are real |
Finally, we learn about all this and more in school. I wonder what kind of teacher Albert Einstein would have been... The folks at the COLLAGE OBSESSION challenge blog really like the guy and invited artists to create a piece of art featuring THE MAN... In a small tribute to him, I gave him a vase of POPPIES!
Thanks so much for checking in with Life...The Vivere. I hope you'll return for my next posting...
Happy Holidays...off for Thanksgiving! Hope yours is wonderful and blessed!
