Turkey Dreams

I was heading out this morning and was greeted by a flock of turkeys running across the road! Since I was driving directly in to the sun, it was hard for my little point and shoot to "see" what I was taking a picture of. I was hoping I'd get some strong silhouettes, but instead I got one major solar flare! I decided to give the picture a dreamy quality. Mmmmmm I can almost taste Thanksgiving turkey now!

Great effect, Poor turkey may sensed your desire.

[Dione Giorgio]

Poor turkeys. Perhaps they were running away to seek somewhere to hide. Lovely shot.

[Rick Schies]

They are huge. We have seen so many this year.

[bruni]

I don`t think the turkeys were dreaming of turkey dinner. I like what you did with this picture.

[W.MARK HATCH]

[Katie]

I bet his dreams are of a different subject entirely!

[Lisa Stein]

Gorgeous light! this is a beautiful shot!

[Maggiemae]

The ultimate - turkeys riding into the sunset!

[Bev]

Great catch, Ann! I bet they are a bit afraid because their holiday is coming up! Although hunting season for these guys must be done now. I like how you processed it to make the sun flare work for you. Well done :)

Thank you everyone! My apologies for being AWOL for a few days! I've had a busy week with photo club and church activities. I'll be catching up with you asap!

[Leana Niemand]

Beautiful light!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@leananiemand Thank you Leana! It's a bit tricky to shoot directly in the sun with a little point and shoot, but I think I did the best I could with a good result.

[☠northy]

oh yes... this has ended up quite fantastical!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@northy Thanks Northy! One of their poor relatives is defrosting in my frig as I type.

[Diane]

I like this--nice dreamy quality to it.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@eudora Thank you Diane! Dreamy for us but not so dreamy for the turkeys!

[Edie]

Beautiful light and bokeh! Wonderful.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@edie Thanks Edie! I was really hoping for a stark clean silhouette, but the poor little camera just couldn't cope with all that light! This was a happy second best.
