Chasing Turkeys, Man Are Those Things Fast

So the other day I had planned to get a lot of cleaning done.  Instead the neighbor's turkeys decided they wanted to visit.  Now when I say neighbor, I don't mean the ones across the road, nor the ones about a half a mile down the road, no I mean the neighbors that are down the road-then turn right for about 1/4th mile.
These neighbors have six or seven wild turkeys they let roam all around and the other day, three of them came to visit.  Shouldn't be a big deal.  But we have chickens.  And when the turkeys come over the chickens hide in the coupe and the turkeys eat all their food.
So I chased two of these birds away but the third went and hid in one of our groves and so I gave up on it, figuring it would follow it's friends down the road.  Later I found her in our driveway, tried to chase her away, lost her in another grove, so I set up a trap.  Later still, spotted her by the chicken pen, yet again chased her into another grove (our yard is surrounded by groves on three sides roughly) and thought that was the end of it.  Yet lo and behold, as I was leaving for work, I saw her by our mail box!  At this time my sister was home so I made her go and chase it.
As for that trap, it caught a cat.  I had corn for bait, and I caught a cat.  I was expecting a chicken and I caught a cat.  Cat's fine, and for the record, when you let them out of a trap, they get super friendly....stupid cat.....

Anime Detour 2013!

I went to Anime Detour 2013 in MN a few weeks back and finally got the pictures uploaded.  Now, I was in  Cosplay (Hetalia) and I really hate having my picture taken (though I did get my picture taken a lot and I got a lot of hugs).  But turns out most of the group photos I'm in are blurry and so I won't be posting them.
Most of these are from the Hetalia Photo Shoot, and I only put up the non-blury ones.  Sorry, my sister took a lot of blury ones that I was in and my camera is a pain to take pictures with when you're just walking around (it just kills those batteries!)
Ask Arthur, Kiku & Alfred:  One of my favorite panels, there weren't so many people, but that  meant the audience could get more involved ^^

Belgium & China: China was getting upset cause no one was asking to take a photo with him/her
 Begin the Photo Shoot!

Germany:  There were probably only 3 there....

I don't know about any of you, but I see 4 Americas and a bunch of floating polar bears...
 Almost  Everyone

Special Thanks to the Korra I had take these Pictures!

Axis Powers

Allied Powers

Aisans
I have a clip from the Ask the Asians Panel where they are doing the Gangnam Style, but my camera takes crap quality videos....

Chibitalia
Chibitalia is sooooo cute!  The only thing that could compete is the Hunni from the  Ouran Dare Panel

2P Nations:  They had a panel that was super funny!
Warning:  Panel involves fan service, adult language, sexual-themes including yaoi, screaming, violence , Slender Men and Oliver falling in love with Jack Skellington.  Sorry not all the parts are easy to find, but you can find them.  You'll even see glimpses of me in those videos.

Cold War Anyone?

Ukraine & More Floating Polar Bears...

Belgium & Spain
The Slender Men are Plotting
I'm sorry in advance, I saw this and I just had to...

Where's Waldo?
This is where the photo shoots were being held.
But seriously, find Waldo. 
"It Looks Great on You!"   
This I drew in about 5 minutes on the corner of some poster thing.

Special Thanks to Everyone at the convention and Everyone in these photos and the people in the video links, I hope you don't mind.  I had a great time and plan to go next year and not be so shy with my camera!  If any of you are in the photos and want them taken down, I will.  If any of you manage to figure out who I was and want me to post some of my more blurry photos, I will.
