For the past few days, this male wild turkey and his harem of two females has wandered my work campus with no regards for the humans that might be walking by. They seem well adjusted to humans. Today, I found them at the front of our building with the male all puffed up and strutting his stuff. He apparently was seeing himself in the windows and putting on his best show to let that other male know that these were his ladies and his alone.

I wasn’t real happy that I was having to shoot in the shade with the sun shining behind them, but its not like I could tell the turkeys to give me some better lighting. But for the most part I think these shots turned out nice enough.

I just made my 24th sale on this photograph. When I took it, did I ever think that it would sell 1 time let alone 24? Nope. Especially, when I shot the short series after work one day while waiting for my wife to finish up also. I have not yet finished this series, in fact, I want to completely re-shoot it from beginning to end. The idea for this just came to me as I waited and shot a few shots with just the chairs at first. They say that good photographs have emotion and I really think this piece of work and the series will have a very powerful emotion that will make people think and wonder about what happened to this couple.
