Fort Snelling Turkey Photo

Family and I went to Fort Snelling State Park today for a workshop on tapping maple trees for syrup and for maple sugar.  As we were driving into the park we saw this flock of wild turkeys next to the road.  I pulled out my phone and snapped a few pictures as we drove by.  Ok picture but nothing special.  A few minutes on Google+ photo editing program created much better photo.  I cropped, added a bit of saturation, and boosted clarity a bit.  I wouldn't recognize the image above as part of the image below if I hadn't been the one to make the changes.

Awesome.
I saw that workshop, entertaining? I just tapped our silver maple yesterday. I got 1/2 gallon before the cold came by nightfall. 2 years ago I yielded about 18 gallons from 2 taps in that tree. Hopefully this year yields something like that...

My neighbor and I have three trees; two of them are quite large. I'm afraid we'll go from too frozen to too warm in a week limiting our sap collection.

Great work making the most out of that pic. Looks like a wild life stamp.

Reminds me of the Probstfield farm. Great photo!
