I doubt he has left, White I mean. He just doesn't log on as much. As well, he's 80, or close to. Life is no longer always roses at that age.

Thanks, Vinke. Aren't you wondering what Scuba has to say about pelicans? I remember him being surrounded by near-pet pelicans where he used to live.

Scuba, I'll have to look at the link Marty posted and see what kind of projects you've been working on!

Ken isn't a wuss, who gives a crap about what people he doesn't respect think. He's probably just busy.

The wind picked up a little and the chimes that Jonathan ( Tman's beloved photographer) gave me caught my eye. There's a small plastic lid attached to the bottom , with very old turkey feathers stuck into the center, to help catch the breeze and make them sound their lovely lower monk temple like cords.

The feathers, as you can see , are old, worn and ratty.

I thought of your lovely turkeys in your video ...and the idea hit me. Thinking how perfect in colours your turkey's tail feathers look,I would like to offer you a mountain man type trade.

When they molt , I'd love a few of those tail feathers . I like them both, the white tailed one and the light beige tail. They look so nice together in such good contrast .

In trade, I'll find something nice in my art box for you.

If you'd like to do this, just shoot me a pm when the kids molt and you're ready.

Below is a shot of how ratty the feathers look now. Some from your feathered crew would be gorgeous. And catch the wind again.

Many thanks for your consideration to this matter....
