Twin Turkey Vul­turesOrig­i­nal­ly uploaded bysuper_structure. A cou­ple of turkey vul­tures land­ed out­side my office win­dow today dur­ing my lunch break.

My rea­son for not post­ing for the last week is that I’ve been very sick. Some sort of res­pi­ra­to­ry infec­tion. Noth­ing that would con­sti­tute an emer­gency, though.
