Sky!

I couldn’t resist taking photos of the sky while fall wild turkey hunting this Friday evening, October 4th, 2013 in northern Douglas County, NE. I just had to share several these with all of you. This is one of the many reasons I so enjoy Nebraska’s autumn outdoor scene (and yes, ever-changing weather patterns). It’s lasting images such as these that make the hunting tradition in NEBRASKAland so memorable, don’t you think? I hope you enjoy them!
