Yes, it was a great trip. We went to Grand Canyon as well, but the Petrified Forest was the highlight!

Yes! I was very surprised to see him/her.

Wow. Look at that crest.
We did a weekend trip to Cape May, I really liked this reflection shot I took.

This is blurry as the bird was in motion, but here is one of 'my' crows coming for the food I set out every morning.

Re: Nature Pics
Oh, this reminds me. There’s a family of wild turkeys that lives in my neighbourhood. We came across them during yesterday evening’s walk. I wanted to get a picture, but as I reached for my camera Ter went crazy and I needed both my hands to control him and Willow (have I ever mentioned that he is incredibly strong?).
The turkeys then were in a hurry to get away so they did that weird half-run, half-walk they do. I wish I had been able to film that.
And now I know that turkeys can’t fly. Before, I thought they could.

Turkeys can fly. I've seen them roosting in trees and assume they got there somehow.

Yes, I've seen turkeys roosting in trees. They don't fly like a crow or a hawk, but they can fly.. like (I imagine) a chicken.
Jude, you need skates. Or a sled perhaps.

During our morning walk. That looks like a mountain range in the distance, but it's actually a bank of clouds.
I wanted to zoom in for another shot, but at that moment a squirrel appeared and the dogs went crazy.
