Big mists over the mountains this morning. As I sat by the window working on a post for my blog, sheet-after-sheet of low-flying clouds mixed with sprinkles enveloped the landscape. Then...suddenly a movement of another sort...and very close by. It was just for a second, mind you, and I didn't know if it was a deer, a bear, a raccoon...
I grabbed my camera and took this shot (below) ...And now I am smiling when I ask you: " How many turkeys can hide in the mists on a mountain path in September?
JaneAnne ~ what a peaceful photo. Mother Nature is th best artist ever! I hope that turkey is thinking about pulling a disappearing act soon.

I had to laugh when I read your comment...turley making a disappearing act ..more mists, please =)
janeAnne - Great photo. I hope to one day have such a view. While I live in n. GA and have lots of wildlife, I long for the mountains.

Come on up to the mountains...at least to enjoy the mountain air...and maybe your home will show up here, too =)
What an awesome picture you have there. I can picture myself with a cup of tea relaxing right now.
What a beautiful morning and what a treat to see the wild turkeys right out your window. I was in the Northern NC mountains last weekend and am still marveling at the beauty. Luckily I have two more trips planned this month. I doubt that I will see any wild turkeys, but who knows.

janeAnne,
I'm counting 9 turkeys in your photo, but know many more lurk behind the mist. When I visit my dad's 2,000 acre ranch in Texas (20 miles near Pres. Bush's ranch), we also see lots of wild turkeys...
I surprised you saw them before you heard them... they can be such noisey little creatures!

The mists atop this Asheville area mountain are AMAZING!
Robin~
If you get to Western North Carolina, you are sure to see plenty of wild turkeys!
Cherise~
I counted nine, too. We have a batch of wild turkeys on the mountain. Mom and Pop and 7 chicks seems to be the usual number...

There's no mistaking that gobble-gobble sound...but these wild turkeys were as quiet as the mists!
haha that is so funny JaneAnne, they traveled with the mist it seems like :)
janeAnne.....A very peaceful setting, although a bit erie! The turkeys look to be enjoying their morning.
That's a cool looking picture, some stuffing and gravy and you are all set!
JaneAnne the turkeys are plentiful this year, I too always try to get a shot of them. Hopefully the mist did not hang around.
Have a great week.
janeAnne,
The title should have been "Turkeys In The Mist." :)

JaneAnne - They were fortunate to be in your landscape. Had they been in my neighbor's, one of them would have had the name, "Dinner." I'm laughing at Mike Jone's "Turkeys In The Mist."
