Wild Turkey

Today, while I was taking Stephen Dog on his afternoon walk, I stumbled upon this fabulously bizarre scene. In someone's urban backyard was a wild turkey. It was sitting patiently at the outdoor dining table. I had to stop and stare for a little while, hardly believing the moment to be real.  I had known of a wild turkey in the neighborhood because local dogs have been going crazy in the park lately. I'd seen a turkey tail sticking out of the foliage not far from this site last weekend, so I knew it was genuine. I found this scene to be so funny that I actually made strangers stop and appreciate the humor of it with me.  My mind was bubbling with silly ideas about what would be main course at this turkey's feast and who else might arrive as its guests of honor. Beautifully ironic; got to love Mother Nature for throwing us fabulous moments like this to keep us on our toes.
