Day 3,574 —Turkeys in Flight —

         I turned at the wrong spot and took a deer trail. You can always tell your on a deer trail when you see the outline in the trees. It only goes up about 4 feet, so you end up having to crouch down to make it.

         But whatever, it is just my morning run, why not get tired trying to navigate the difficult terrain? When I finally just left the creek area altogether, I immediately saw the crossing that I normally take. I was still laughing at myself, “Why am I frustrated?” Wasn’t the point of going out to run, to go out to run?

         Then, I saw a flock of turkeys about 100 yards away. As I approached, they all galloped in a straight line before taking flight. I watched them fly away. Then, I saw them again on the other side of the area, hanging out. I approached them a second time and the younger ones flew away again, but there were a few that were older that walked slowly trying to blend into the surroundings.

 

It was a great way to start the day.
