Happy turkey day • click to embiggenJust as I was starting to rummage around for an appropriate picture for this entry, I got an email ping and, lo and behold, Aaron sent me the above picture.
He had called early in the day, in a stunning display of wilderness naiveté, to ask if I knew of a place where he could picture some wild turkeys for a Thanksgiving Cinemascape. He came to the right place in as much as I could direct him to several locations where I regularly encounter wild turkeys. Unfortunately for him though, I could not actually arrange for wild turkeys to be there when he was.
Nevertheless, it appears that he found a bird.
That said, I would very much like to vigorously second the sentiment that the wife expressed earlier on today's selling cat shit to dogs entry. A sentiment that I had intended to express in any event but it does appear that great minds think alike. She wrote:
One of the things I am thankful for is that the Husband has this online community of people who care like he does how binary code looks.
Of the many blessing for which I will give thanks tomorrow, this "online community" is certainly one. I appreciate very much, in more ways than you might imagine, all of the comments, feedback, and what I consider to be friendship which has been extended to me from all of you.
I have been lucky to meet a few of you in person. I hope to be able to do so with more of you (anybody interested in some sort of multi-day Landscapist picnic at some point in the future?), either in your travels or mine. Don't be like Andy Ilachinski and be within a couple miles of my house and not give me a holler. (Just kidding Andy). Hey, they make more beer here than they know what to do with.
In any event, for those who celebrate Thanksgiving tomorrow, a heartfelt Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. And, for those who don't, I'll be thanking my lucky stars for each and everyone of you.

Hey, look who's head got cut off! Good one Aaron. :-)
Mark, I don't know how you do it on a near daily basis but thank you for doing it. Have a great holiday and I can't wait to see some images of decaying leftovers!
Well this site is one of the things I am thankful for
