Two good motifs - an owl and a pumpkin. A very October stitch!
Speaking of birds...
I took a walk down the road the other day and came across a small group of wild turkeys.
It looked as though it was composed of a Mama bird and her mostly grown young.
Besides size, the adult birds have redder heads and darker feathers.
I tend to froget, but they also have BIG feet!
They wild turkeys eat lots of seed - here they are working in the tall grass, stripping off the seed heads.
They clucked and quietly talked to one another.
They are social birds, and are usually in a flock.
I like seeing them, just not in my own backyard!
They can wreck havoc in a garden setting.
The owl is so cute - congrats on the finish!
ReplyDeleteThe wild turkeys make me think of "The Waltons" of all things. I think it's because they went out and shot a turkey each year:-)
ReplyDeleteVery cute finish, Beth, and what great shots of the turkeys. I loved seeing your close-ups as our turkeys are quite far away and my camera doesn't do well with zooming in...
ReplyDeleteThat finish is adorable!!
ReplyDeleteSweet stitching xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's funny to observe how small their heads are in proportion to their body size. I guess I can understand why they are so appealing to game hunters.
ReplyDeleteGreat stitch! So what do turkeys do to a garden? We used to have some that were around just outside our neighborhood, but that was years ago. We saw a small group of wild turkeys while we were up at our rented house in Maine this year.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute owl and pumpkin. The wild turkeys are so interesting.
