Our day, in pictures.

First was the turkeys.



Alexis made it outside to photograph them first. By the time I arrived she was backing up, swinging her camera case at them to keep them at bay.


She beat a retreat (while checking out her pictures) and I moved in to use my zookeeper skills to defuse the dangerous animal situation.


Then we took Charlie to agility class, but the only photo I took was this one. It's growing from the pavement in front of the building where the class is, in Somerville.


After the class we came home and trimmed the hedges for a couple hours. We earned lunch at Flanns.




Smithwicks and Guinness black and tan!


On our evening dogwalk in the Riverway we saw the turkeys again, but I didn't get any good pictures of them. Nice one of the Hancock and the Pru, though!

There's really nothing around that will eat them. A fox or a coyote might take a young inexperienced turkey, and a raccoon could take an injured one, but nothing else around here could do it. An off-leash dog might kill one, but we saw these guys take flight pretty fast when our dogs got excited, and I think most dogs are too dumb to pull it off.
