Day 763

More turkeys! (and friends)

January 31st, 2014



They've all come running across the field (if you zoom in, you can see a few stragglers off in the background by the pine tree) because the guy standing next to me started throwing handfuls of corn kernels over the fence. He told me he doesn't live around here, but whenever he knows he'll be in the area, "I bring my corn."

Another flag mural

January 31st, 2014



by Scott LoBaido, this one on the side of the rebuilt Toto's restaurant. The painted water level denotes the height of floodwaters during Hurricane Sandy. (The mural is well above ground level; I had to climb up a bit to take this shot over the surrounding railing.)
