Rooster at the West Barn, enters Stage Left.
Tough audience.
Cattle Call auditions. I hate them. Though I believe this particular audition was called by the cattle.
I knew a guy once, when I was running in such circles, who actually wrote his thesis on the Entrances and Exits of Shakespeare. It was a dry piece. And has absolutely nothing to do with Dancing Roosters.
I hope you have a lovely day.

The rooster, the music will sway
To soon, June and moon
A catchy dear tune
That makes us all enter the fray.

Just gorgeous! c
Boy that looked very similar to the Chicken Dance I have done at weddings…and I got the same reaction!! 😉 That Cattle has a look of knowing in his eyes…not sure what he knows, but he does and he’s not sharing. Your pictures are so clear! Wonderful shots!!
Yes, these eyes of that cow are marvellous. I love them too! – It’s Aunty Del. A very special cow.
Awww Aunty Del, I love that!
Oh Celi – you have made my morning!!! Going back and remembering! You taught and directed, I was taught and acted . . . loved Shakespeare to bits and still do . . . in my High School years was rather a wellknown Portia in NSW- wide, a blonde one at that – in schoolgirl film for Dept.Ed and all that! Adored the almost walk-on stately Calpurnia, did Perdita, Hermia and Viola . . . refused Ophelia and Titania and, of course, ‘the Lady’. . . oh what glorious fun to remember . . . 😀 !! Stage left indeed and thank God I never had to go thru’ a cattle call . . . Kate: that hat pink pic is just fabulous and what a time to trot it out . . . Irmi: don’t change yours – it is beautiful . . .
Thank you Celi for making me do some homework , , , even tho’ some real work has been put on the backburner for late night hours. Actually did not realize the very famous ‘entrances and exits’ quote stems from ‘As you like it’ . . . but have certainly purchased the Judy Dench/David Suchet book on the theme . . . can’t wait to receive and read . . . thank you for the stimulus!!!
It is an interesting study – .. c
. . . and an awful lot of fun 😀 !!
🙂 thank you, Eha.
I’m missing a Laugh Out Loud button on my screen. You nailed it. Hilarious 🙂
I want a Laugh Out Loud Button too! c
That’s a fancy chicken dance, I can’t imagine the ladies weren’t impressed. Lovely cow peeking over.
This made me smile! Tough audience 😃
A really wonderful set of pictures of that chicken…lovely light and such a good sequence..could be a latter day Edward Muybridge:)
Loungers are as much fun to listen to today as your delightful (and quite striking) photographs are to see. A hazy milky morning here just cleared up. Would you believe, I had to ask My Dear what a chicken dance was. She said, “Of course, we did that at Danny’s wedding.” Then she showed me. I almost spilled my coffee, she in her bathrobe, humming, flapping and wriggling, faster and faster, both off us laughing. I went back to my newspaper feeling like the cow in the last picture.
Got to love your eye and sense of humor. Really funny today
