Turkeys at Darby Farms |
Daniel is such a sweet, young man. He owns this farm out in Good Hope, Georgia (about 30 miles from Athens) where he raises chickens, pigs, cows, and turkeys. The turkeys live outside, well, they have a coop they can get in to get out of the weather, but otherwise, they are free range. When we first walked up to the fenced area, Daniel asked if I would like to go inside the fence. I said, "Yes, if they won’t bite." Hey, I didn’t know what they may do. He said they are very curious, particularly the hens, and they may peck, but they won't break the skin.

What a fun day that was, and finally, we have a winner. A photo was chosen for November, and that concludes my assignment for the 2016 calendar.
Have you had any unexpected, fun experiences while trying to photograph animals?
