The Speas place is just west of Timberlake’s restaurant at

The Chetola Resort in Blowing Rock, NC.

“I have painted and roamed the place many times. On each visit, I spend hours watching the wildlife while sometimes eating sweet, red apples.

I found this turkey tail feather in the grass and it reminded me of all the wild turkeys I’ve watched over the years. I can’t just throw a feather away for some reason, I have to save them since each reminds me of the bird and the memories I have.” - Bob
