Chicken In the Morning, Noon and Night

On an inspection the other day, waterfront home, they had unusual yard art. There was one piece that I first saw from quite a long ways away. At first I thought it was wood pecker art, which made sense it being up in a tree and all. However, it ends up that it was, in fact, a chicken up a tree. Okay, I know, it is a rooster but that is still poultry to me.

It takes all kinds. This is a million dollar view, near the beach and there are all kinds of "cute" funky things like this rooster. Expensive lots are in transition. You might find a near castle in one spot, but next to it is a doublewide or a mom and pop shanty. It seems that, as this beach property becomes more and more expensive, those doublewides and shanties are vanishing -- not that that is necessarily a bad thing.

Steve, kind of reminds me of your old flag pole sitting days----doesn't it?

Okay, I have received private Emails asking it this photo was taken at Charlie Buell's house. Fact is, he really likes fine sculpture but this is not his place, although he is envious of the chicken.

But Steve. just the other day you told me you wanted a rooster sculpture for your garden.  I bet this is really at your house.
