Turkey family

Indian Mountain Road is the place to see wildlife - I saw a bobcat crossing there last week. Yesterday this turkey family strutted out in front of my car. They seemed to have two sets of babies, little ones and teenagers - I didn't know they'd raise two sets in one year. They all got across except for one laggardly teen who was stuck in the bushes - I waited patiently and he finally scrambled to join the rest of his family, who was heading up this gravel road.

This grand barn was recently built in Millerton - the inside is even more spectacular.

A belated photo of the Soapbox Derby which was very much fun. The cars were so creative, and they really moved - the speed clock showed them at close to 30mph. We didn't stay long - it was very hot, the girls wanted to to swimming and I, as is often the case on a Saturday, had to go to work. A few more shots here.
