Tuesday morning I had put my turkey decoy out near an above ground water tank and as the sun came up, snapped this picture of the decoy. As the morning passed, I saw a squirrel come up for a drink, but he was to far for a picture.

Noticing a branch move as a cardinal launched itself toward the ground, this fellow lit right next to me and surveyed his realm.

When all was deemed safe, his mate followed suit and both “posed” for this picture.

Still no turkey, but springtime in central Texas is really nice and just being out and seeing the beauty is plenty of reward!
