I decided to take up a new career.
Chicken Portrait Photographer.
Did you know that is really a thing?
I Googled it. And Google doesn't lie.
My older (longer?) readers will remember Frank. A beautiful Siamese cat that appeared on our porch and adopted us a few years ago. I sort of fell in love with him.
He eventually went to live on a farm.
For real.
Not like when your parents told you your dog "went to live on the farm" and it really meant something entirely different. Frank actually went to a friend's farm.
I think this chicken may have heard about the sweet deal Frank got and decided to get in on the action.
He's been hanging around our yard for the last few weeks and every time I think he's remembered where he lives and has gone back home to the farm, he pops up again.
He's cute, but I'm not going to get rich on photographing just one chicken.
So box up your roosters, hens and chicks and send them over to me, so I can get started on my new career.

Well he does make a great subject for photos and is quite a handsome rooster. So happy to hear that Frank the cat found a good home too.

Too funny! Is it weird that I am afraid of chickens?? I guess its because I'm a city girl turned country girls. Yours looks friendly enough though 🙂

The new career sounds exciting. The chicken is sweet. And apparently feels right at home in your yard.

Ha Ha Pam how cute is this that you have this guy coming to visit you on occasion. Maybe he will bring a girlfriend and some fresh eggs on one of his trips. Too cute. You post made me smile. Have a good Sunday.

Sounds like a winner to me! If you don't live out in the country, where on earth did this rooster come from? If he a long-distance runner rooster?

We're sort of in the country. Just far enough out of town to have corn fields around us. I think he's from one of the neighbors down the road. A few of them have chickens.

It's one good looking chicken. Another blogger calls her volunteer chicken "Drumstick."

Sounds like a good job! He sure is a handsome guy! We had a deer hanging around for a couple of weeks...finally made his way home...

Makes me miss our brood of yard art. But then I remember all the work they required. On second thought, I'll just follow your poultry photog career and live vicariously.

Hey, you gotta start somewhere! He sure is a cutie. We used to have chickens. Then we got a German Shepherd. Enough said.
Have a great day!
