Yesterday as I was getting out of the shower I happened to look out my bathroom window and see some wild turkeys just beyond the backyard fence.When I first looked out, Mr. Turkey had his butt facing toward me (a coincidence, I assure you) and he had it all fluffed out and feathery. I first grabbed my iPhone, which luckily was on the bathroom counter. However, unfortunately one major problem with the iPhone is that the camera doesn't zoom! Grrrr! I snapped a shot or two then dashed to the closet to get hubs' Cannon. By then the stinking turkeys, although still nibbling, had decided they wasted enough time flaunting and were on to serious breakfast eating.
I watched for a few minutes but no kodak moments presented themselves. I should have just chucked caution to the wind and ran outside in my birthday suit... But 1) I like to have sports bras on when I run and 2) I didn't want to trip over my boobs and 3) although we back up to woods we still have neighbors on either side that I'm sure would not have appreciated such a sight so early in the morning.
Alas... this is the only half-way decent shot I have. It'll have to do. Now if I could just find some Fat Bastards or Toasted Heads in my backyard...
Oh oh oh... speaking of "chucking" I also went shoe shopping yesterday! Can't wait to show you my new shoes!!!

you are soo goofy. I screwed up. gimme a break!
You know that I only goof on those that I love! :)
Actually, the future commenters will not have any idea what happened and I will look like the idiot, but what else is new!!! haha!
You should have thrown caution to the wind and let the puppies bounce this one time. It would have made for a better picture.
if his feathers were ruffled that means he was trying to impress you...which means he was hoping to mate with you. May want to consider closing the blinds next time!
I am glad you did not do the naked dash. Everyone has a camera phone!!! You definitely would have been on youtube.
You did have a fat bastard in your yard yesterday (or at least on Saturday). Remember? We were there and we brought your fav brother-in-law! (just kidding, hubby!).
this is hilarious! We live near the city, yet we had wild turkey's in our backyard. When the turkeys wandered into the street, all the neighbors wandered out in their nightgowns and robes, holding their phones, taking pictures! City Folk!
If you have a Toasted Head in your back yard, please provide address!
I almost hit that turkey on my way home last week. He was just lollygagging in the road. He didn't ruffle his feathers for me though. I'm jealous..
OMG I'm laughing at OptPessimist's comment! Seriously Bambs, next time forget the neighbors and think of us, your loyal readers who would have enjoyed a post called "Girls Gone Wild Turkey".
okay.....I guess the secret in the post was that you got a pair of CHUCKS for Blog Camp!!!!!!!!! Ohhhhh, I am sooooo jealous. Can't wait to see THEM....I see turkeys around my house all the time.

We have deer in the yard all the time, but never turkey! That made me hungry . . .
Reminds me of my house. We have little red foxes that run out of the trees aiming for our cars while we are driving! We also have the complete cast of the Bambi movie (how appropriate for your blog, no? :) ) living in our yard. We have several families of rabbits, chipmunks, and more than one family of deer, as well as several orphan fawn that travel together. They've become very tame and will come right up to the house. It's..interesting. :)
Turkey would just add to the fun!
at first I was all, "no...I can see it..." but then I realized that was a potted plant. I gots nothing.
Yukon Jack used to be a very good friend of mine, until one day he punched me in the face after a really embarrassing night out at the bars.
That guy sucks so bad. He seems all harmless and kinda yummy - but it's all an act. Do not trust him. He better not show up in my backyard!
I probably would have reached for a weapon over the camera for 2 reasons...
1. I hate birds and one less would be a good thing.
2. Turkey is delicious.
There are a lot of people down here in these parts who are members of the National Wild Turkey Federation... yes you guessed it!! they wear hats with the emblem NWTF all over them!!! hahahahahahahahahahaa it cracks me up every time I see it!!!!
Thats so funny!!! My inlaws actually have a crapload of wild turkeys that hang out at their place. But like you, I wish they were fat bastards instead.
Running with no sports bra is hazardous to your health. I am willing to have the not so perfect pics and have you free from injury anyday!!!

we had wild turkeys running through the neighborhood. but there's no way i would have gone dashing through the yard naked to take pics of them. with my luck, i would have tripped over one of them, broken my ankle and laid there moaning in pain until someone discovered me lying there wearing nothing but turkey feathers.
Running without proper "attire" has often blackened my eyes!
Gosh I hate when that happens!
Reason #4 for not running in the nude w/o bra: When running, boobs bouncing could quite possibly make the turkey (I am sure it would in my case) and then, yes, as OP suggested, mating calls and actions would ensure. As a girl who is too much city for the country and too much country for the city, I am sure I would be better off with the Wild Turkey from the bottle...
That was turkey mating call. See? Can't even get the hunting thing right, but the imagery is strong!
I have no idea what a wild turkey is, I guess a turkey ..um, that's wild? We don't have those over here. How cool!!
Ummm! Random Thoughts? LOL! Tuesday, today, ummm, hint hint! LOL!
The turkey probably left to get his Cannon since his cell phone couldn't zoom in on your nakedness, either. ;)
Where's your shoe post, hmmmmmmm? :)
lets see the new shoes then!!
When inspiration and camera work at the same time it is a miracle! -Jayne
hi; just found your blog; enjoyed reading your entries (especially about the pee test with the missing OxyContin); too cute about the wild turkeys (they really are kind of ugly don't you think? at least the ones we had in Montana were)
looking forward to reading more.....
enjoy the day
