Some additional images from my visit to Hancock Shaker Village are featured as a guest post on my friend Monica’s blog, Look Around!. Go take a look at what she has going on. lookaround99.wordpress.com
… Nestled in the hills of Western Massachusetts is a place that looks like it is frozen in time. Many years ago, Hancock Massachusetts was a Shaker community. The Shakers were a Christian sect founded in the 18th century. They were known for living simply and for their exquisite craftsmanship. Very few remain today but […]

Thanks, Hedy. You also. =)
Nooo… that’s an artwork! Extraordinary shot!
This is perfection: light, pose, subject, situation.
Bravo!
Ciao

Thank you, Sid…Cheers!
I really like that photo. I wish I had the collection of portraits of roosters that the restaurant Mimi’s features. I may make that pic a screen-saver. Thanks.
Thank you so much. Cheers
Beautiful shot, Chris! I can´t help it, but somehow that chicken looks very wise indeed! 🙂 Have a great weekend! xxx
Thank you, Sarah. She was a good model, especially for a chicken. 😉
Lol! I´ve got a feeling that chickens are very underestimated in their modelling abilities 😉
I’ve always sensed they belong on the runway and the cover of Vogue
Hehe! Yes, they do! 😉 Maybe we should work on this Bird Vogue project together… 😉
Ha ha ha That would be great.
I think it would be great fun, and the models should be only moderately interested in big fees, a few cereal grains will do, I guess 😉
An occasional worm or grub will also be appreciated. 😃
Yummy! 😉
I’m new to WordPress so follow like and comment on both my websites. Thanks and I follow back.
This is an excellent, well composed shot. Congrats!
Oh, thank you so much. I just poked my head in the chicken coop and she was ready for her portrait. She made my work easy. Cheers!
I adore chickens! 🙂 Great portrait.
Thank you so much. I’m considering specializing in poultry portraits. Cheers!
I like the photograph with the really warm feeling of a chicken who gives us eggs and sometimes follows us around the yard. I used to have a country babysitter for my brothers and me. I also had one for my own children. Nothing like feeding baby lambs bottles in the kitchen. 🙂
Have a wonderful week, Chris!
Catching up rather late on some of your posts, Monday night.
Thank you Robin. Growing up our neighbors had some chickens and geese. It seems odd to me now when people seem so surprised by livestock. Our neighbors across the street also have chickens. Sometimes they cross the road for a visit. Cheers. 🐔
Chickens are becoming more common in the suburbs, too. I like the photograph with the perspective being such a warm feeling; like you could bundle it under your arm.
She was a most cooperative chicken. You may have been able to take her for a stroll. 😊
Aww, my Filipino friend Mary Jane feels like a “Mamacita” to her chickens and birds in their coops. One does follow her as she feeds them all, the rest stay on their perches and places, ready to be fed!
