The two-hour drive to Memphis yielded some interesting sights. The most interesting Thanksgiving day sighting was a flock of wild turkeys on the roadside east of Biscoe. Must’ve been about 10 of them just doodling around on the verge between the bottomland and the roadbed of U.S. 70. Rather risky business on the biggest turkey-eating day of the year. (and did we have the camera ready? nooooo.)
Another great image was that of a large hawk sitting in the shoulder of I-240, the loop road around Memphis. It was just sitting there watching the holiday weekend traffic whiz by. (did we have the camera ready? noooooo.)
Still, we did manage to pull the camera out for some of what Memphis had to offer (with a little help from Photoshop and apologies to film purists.)
