chickens everywhere

Jan 5, 2006
morning
out w/plein air artists
Fair Oaks Village park & surrounds
chickens and rooster all over



Don & I are both attracted to this little house, he even moved a garbage can for me - he could just paint it out. Chickens come and go - roosters crow at each other across the town square - people come and go for coffee - a dog barks while waiting for his owner.


Fair Oaks' now signature chickens are just too appealing to pass by - the first big guy was very obliging for a few crumbs but the second smaller rooster was just to jumpy to quite catch well - then they all seem to disappear. I sit and wait to see who else might show up.


A couple palm trees stand in one corner of the park - an ineresting contrast to the deciduous trees around them -




After much coaxing and persistence, a better rooster for the second shot - And finally a great image to form a pair with the first image - the same rooster returned & again proved a good model.
