Wild turkey.
Got warmer overnight and snowed a bit. A couple of inches of light stuff, just enough to give the world a powdered-over, wintry kind of look. High temps just above freezing, not a lot of wind. Nice day for a Saturday hike with the two dogs. (Back to just Jack tomorrow.)
Dormant hillside.
Chickadees chattering about the parking lot. A flicker’s voice somewhere down from the summit. Careful footwork. No spills.
On the trip back, a small flock of turkeys crossed South Street in front of us, so I stopped and got a photo of one of ’em.
