Their Own Sweet Traditions

A Sunday afternoon family drive
led them down highways in
south Florida.
  The men were
on a mission to locate wild turkey.
The mom and young daughter,
along for the ride,
were enjoying the scenic
view of spring wildflowers.
 Young son turns
seven years old this week, and
I suppose it's a coming of age
thing, to walk through the swamps
with Dad, armed for the hunt.
And, indeed they did see turkeys,
stopping to mark the area, for return
in the future.
 Young son was very excited
having seen a fine turkey hen..... and
conversation leading  to his  bringing home
the holiday turkey.

The women in the family
happily gathered wildflowers.

Ah.... the continuity
of family and my enjoyment
watching as they set
their own sweet traditions.

Have a beautiful day everyone!  Dee Dee
