Wild Turkeys In The Yard

Just happened to catch this group of wild turkeys as they fed on my neighbors front yard. One had a limp as if a leg had been damaged but that don't stop them from flying. We have a lot of wild turkeys in this area. (Just click on the picture for a larger view).

High Road or Low Road?

Recently I had to make a delivery in Cottonwood's countryside (out where there's mostly gravel roads). It was the same day I had a flat tire and the weather was toasty. When I got to this point I decided to take the low road as the bridge was very narrow. I'm just glad the creek was dry. After this delivery I had one more and it was in Platina. Sure glad I didn't have another flat or I would have had to call a tow truck. (Just click on the picture for a larger view).

The Community of Flournoy

The small community of Flournoy, California is located about twelve miles west of Corning where Corning Road and Paskenta Road meet and I deliver to this community pretty often. Established in 1906, Flournoy's main product is cattle and goats. The community's single store serves as Post Office, Grocery Store and Deli/Cafe. As you can see by the sign the little cafe is famous for its Belly Buster Burger and Arizona Ice Tea. (Just click on the pictures for a larger view).

Almond Orchard

It looks like another bumper crop of Almonds here in the Corning area this year. Just look how loaded this one tree is. They tell me the harvest will start in a couple of weeks. (Just click on the pictures for a larger view).

A Gagle Of Wild Turkeys

While making a delivery in the Happy Valley Area of Anderson I came upon this flock of wild Turkeys. All I could see was the mother and many small ones. I took this picture from the passenger side as they were scampering up an embankment. Right after the picture I saw them take wing. (Just click on the picture for a larger view).

Peacock or Road Runner?

I was driving down this country road between Red Bluff and Corning and came upon this Peacock who was very slow in crossing the road. Too bad he didn't have his full colors showing. (Just click on the pictures for a larger view).

They're Still Making Their Rounds

These two people are dedicated. Almost every day I see them on the streets of Red Bluff making their rounds. The lady with the cart and dogs and the walking man. They sure have heart. (Just click on the pictures for a larger view).
