Happy Bird Day!
The stuffed, 16 lb. turkey is in the oven. I was about to buy one turkey thigh yesterday at Publix for $7.99 when a friendly lady pointed out that I could buy a whole turkey for eight dollars and change. So I did! Don’t eat too much and enjoy the football games.
Comments on the photos in the video above and questions about how they were created are of course welcome. Leave a comment -:)
Thanksgiving Blessings with Bob. Plus Photo Tips by Arthur Morris/BIRDS AS ART with Robert Eastman
I am blessed in too many ways to count. I have two wonderful daughters and four great grandkids. I do not have to worry about money. And I am — at age 78, relatively healthy.
I get out to photograph almost every single morning. And most evenings as well. I am privileged to be using amazing Sony gear and to be making consistently sharp images at 1200.mm. And I have been blessed to have a great friendship with Bob Eastman who drove down from Wisconsin in late October 2024 to spend some quality time with me. We have been having a ball and just put the turkey in the oven!
Click below to learn more about Bob’s amazing life that includes sticking his arm in a cement mixer when he was young, several serious industrial accidents, falling off a cliff and being rescued by the mountain squad, and being dropped off a stretcher by paramedics into a swamp! Through it all, he is a smiling happy man who — like me, enjoys every single day as a gift and a blessing.

Happy Thanksgiving! I started my day by finding two nearby eagles’ nests!
