***OKIES in the BYC III ***

@artsyrobin Your paintings are beautiful. I don't mean to stalk, but you mentioned them so I went looking. That little rooster has to be about the cutest thing I've ever seen and I'm including that turtle.

Oddly, I haven't seen many turtles this year. Growing up they were everywhere, granted that was 20+ years ago and in Southeastern Oklahoma. I've grown soft which required me to be a little closer to the city when we moved back this year.

thank you- chickens stole my focus on pet portraits, so poultry kind of became my specialty, a peek at the latest for the Guinea Fowl Conference-




no usually we see alt of turtles, and haven't seen any out here- really odd

had Ansel(named him after a photography that did amazing black and white photography) out to get photos, can get him relaxed, he WANTS his pic taken

Ansel (I'm assuming as in Adams) is a great name for him.

because of his long legs, he is twice her height, so i am thinking he may end up with the bantam cochin girls- he is such a sweet personality

It's not a talent I've ever had. Oh well, now that I'm retired hopefully I can return to the hobbies that I set aside years ago. For now I'm still unpacking boxes and trying to get everything settled and keeping chickens vicariously through you guys.
