Chanticleer? - Camera Critters


For a few years now I have been biking, driving, and walking by one of the more interesting homes in our neighborhood.  It often has some whimsical decorations on the front lawn or porch, frequently coordinated with the seasons and holidays.  Recently I hopped out of my car to capture this painted metal sculpture, and finally I met the owner, who is a kindergarten teacher in our neighborhood school.  Figures!  People who work with kids often have a playful streak of their own.

  3. Very cute! I've been teasing my husband for the last several years that I want a big metal rooster similar to this - I think it's about 5 feet high. So far it's a no go.

    (BTW: We didn't go up the Eiffel Tower. Neither of us can handle heights; my hands sweat at the thought of it. And we'd encountered enough hustlers at ground level that we were happy to avoid further crowds. Too bad your husband learned the hard way.)
