Everywhere

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, United States) on 29 April 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Wherever you are in Key West, roosters and their hens will be somewhere close by. They wander the streets freely. This one serenaded us every day (umm, night) while we slept in our hotel, starting around 4:30 am. Somehow that was not unpleasant; it added to the charm of being here.

Please pray for Bella.

Bella Update: 07/23/08. Wednesday. Another good Bella morning, she is in good spirits, even with they mysterious disappearance of our normally numerous and active neighborhood squirrel population. Maybe "Sheriff Bella" has cleaned out Dodge and sent all those tree-climbing hoodlums packing. Heh.

Bella and I appreciate each of you for caring and praying. Please understand this miracle being prayed for, because although it is day by day, it also may take a bit of time for completion: Bella's battle for life, wellness, and a healed heart isn't a sprint but a long-distance run.

What we have right now are daily blessings: I am prayerfully thankful that her good days may be God's bit by bit miracle that is slowly unfolding.

This is great, VF; it reminds me of leaving Tortola after a sailing charter.
The roosters and hens flocked to the area where we departed.

I don't know, if I was awakened by roosters while on vacation in Key West at 4:00am I may have to see about having some BBQ chicken......
Great shot - wonderful colors on the chicken and the background building....

@Chris: At first I wasn't real keen on the 4 am crowing, but I quickly realized this was all part of the experience and got to where it was actually enjoyable and a nice way to sort of wake up slowly, to be ready for another full day.
