Photo Hunters - Wild



I found the theme this week to be a hard one. I had to surf around a few of the other Photo Hunters to get some ideas. I wasn't having any luck thinking of a picture for "wild."

Once I got a little inspiration, I looked back through my pictures and found that I did indeed have something for the theme.

The Hunt - Wild

Each afternoon, while we were on vacation this summer in Utah,
a little group of wild turkeys would walk through our backyard
and then a few minutes later they'd pass by again on their way back to whence they had come.
Maybe they were going for a drink. Although you can't see from the picture,
just down the grassy hill is the Virgin River.



I took this picture at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
The WILD flowers were beautiful. I wasn't the only one who thought so.
This little bee agreed with me.

Glad to see you found theme difficult too -- at least you found a wild turkey! My photo is just a "turkey" period. Take care, Larry

Ah, so you give us two choices of wild huh? I think I choose the first one of the Turkeys as a fav since we don't have that wild over here.

Great photos! Since we moved to our new home, we've seen a lot of turkeys which is pretty wild. I love the wildflowers shot. They're beautiful. Yellow flowers are my favorite!

I struggled, too, before finding shots for this week's theme, and I am enjoying everyone's different takes, as always. Great photos!

Susanne said...

I gotta say Ann, for someone who had trouble with the topic you sure came up with 2 great pics.

For some reason the turkey one makes me smile. I cannot imagine wild turkeys walking through my backyard, I guess.

It looks a lot like the Hill Country in the first photo--so beautiful!
I noticed that you are adopting from Ethiopia--we have some really wonderful friends from there. My son's preschool director and his TK teacher were both Ethiopian so they taught the kids to sing Happy Birthday and a few other songs.

I doubt the wild turkey taste as good as the domesticated ones so we can just let them be. Love wild flowers in all shapes and sizes.
Mine is up too.

I had some pictures of wild turkeys at my father's house---in TX. I guess I could have posted those. And those turkeys really get around, don't they?

PowersTwinB said...

I love both your photos but especially the flowers. Beautiful :)

Great pictures. The wildflowers look like a flower that we have in our garden. We believe they are Coreopsis. We have seen many different colors.

I love turkeys. They are so neat. Kind of like Road Runners, but with more food. I like wildflowers too. I like to put wildflowers on my table for dinner. Great photos.

It is amazing that you can find wildflowers at the Grand Canyon...I loved the Grand Canyon. I think we need to take another trip up there...
