This morning Gary and I left early to trek across our wooded property. The ground was dusty and dry because temperatures have been close to 100 every day for the past week. Too hot for north Idaho. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and the sun was bright. As we made our way down the hill , we tried to follow the shade of the trees, and was cheered by the sound of birds as they sang their happy anthem.
The day before we had seen a mama turkey and her newly hatched babies nestled together in tall fescue. As Gary and I moved closer to their grassy home, the mama stood up, lifted her wings in a thunderous fashion and quickly flew away trying to distract us from her young ones. In that moment I was able to take a picture of the precious poults; Then, trying to be as quiet as we could, the two of us headed in another direction so as not to disturb the little turkey family any longer.
Today, as we continued our walk we marvelled at the beauty of God's creation all around us; Grateful for the gift of newborn life.
