See! The day lily's coquettish ruffles and come-hither anthers . . .
. . . the turkeys' soft dark eyes . . . the precisely patterned plumage . . .
the elegant curve of her neck . . .
. . . the rosemary's twisted trunk
and the way light lingers like memory in the branches.

The lily is gorgeous. I really like the shots of the turkey. I was surprised to see that in your area. Fun pictures.
... the light lingers like memory .... beautiful words and images!
Neat pictures ... I never noticed the beauty of a wild turkey, but maybe it's because they're usually running in the opposite direction when we encounter each other in the woods. I love the rosemary and only wish I could grow one so lovely.
Beautiful pictures. The lily was my favorite though. Nice post, Vicki.
So cool that you have the turkeys hanging out around your house. Loved all the pictures!
Turkeys are making a big comeback in out area, Larry, as more and more fields and pastures are left to grow up in multiflora rose and blackberries.
Thanks, Merisi, Mr. S., and Jean!
Pat - My rosemary spends the winter in the greenhouse. I've seen huge ones growing outside in Asheville and Weaverville but haven't managed that here.
Yes, poetry....nothing "not quite" about it...

LOVE that Rosemary!
That lily photo is beautiful.
Great shots of the turkey. We have many here, but I've never been at the right placeat the right time to take a great picture.
nice. a bit of peace...
love the beauty of the lily...and saw a turkey myself the other day crossing the road. had to stop and watch him for a moment...
love how you notice the little things that make them extraordinary...
That lily is so beautiful both in shape as in colour. So your turkey chicks are almost adult birds now!
How very lovely; I wasn't expecting this when I clicked on. not that you don't always write lovely posts but this is such poetry.
Lovely!
I see you've labelled this as 'not quite poetry'. May I say, not quite so.
Those images and carefully selected words work so well.
This is beautiful photography and writing. I can see, feel and smell the rosemary in your picture.
Well that was an exquisitely crafted post, I have to say. Absolutely lovely!
A poet, a mysteries writer, a gardener, a chef, a counciouss being, a wife and mom... just great my dear friend!!!
big hugs,

Thanks, folks! I love the camera for letting me catch so many moments that make me wish I had someone nearby to say 'Look at this flower, these turkeys, the moon, the sunrise, the rain . . .!'
