These are photographs which I took at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers, Georgia, as well as a few other places I have been over the years. There are also essays down below and links, on the right, to some of my published books and essays. Hope you enjoy them.

There are turkeys here - we see them almost every day. I should have taken this one in color. Maybe I will try that later this afternoon. Someone once told me that the hardest thing to see "in the wild" are wild turkeys. Such sightings come quite easily here. I never knew that they could fly - it takes them a while to rev up, but, like a plane, once they get enough of ground speed up, they are aloft. They make quite a racket when they do so.

Beautiful photos - all of them. You're right about the sounds and exertion of the wild turkeys taking off! We have tons of them in this part of Connecticut. I pass a field every time I'm on my way to work and it's full of them. They are also VERY slow to get out of the way. No wonder the world-famous jokes weren't made about turkeys crossing the road.
