Outdoor Rooster Wednesday


Susan @ Southern Daydreamer hosts Outdoor Wednesday each week to showcase wonderful photos of outdoor beauty. Well, believe it or not, I found plenty of roosters ready to pose.

It's hot out today, so I've fixed you a tall glass of ice cold lemonade to enjoy while we stroll around and see what some outdoor roosters are up to.





If you've been following
Hyacinths For the Soul,
you know we are celebrating
The Week of Roosters.

I'm happy you joined us today!



This cheerful fellow sits high above on the top of a roof
crowing loudly each morning.
Doesn't he look stunning framed against
the bright blue morning sky?


These musical guys pick the guitar strings so fast
their feathers are all a flutter!
Can you hear the lively tune?


I think Old Red must be expecting something
important in today's mail.
Where IS the postman?


Or perhaps Old Red expects that this quirky guy
might drop by for a morning crow!



This is Topiary Ted. He enjoys the comfort
of his own shady garden spot.
And he doesn't CROW!


Oh, my! This fellow does have a problem!


When in Paris, a Montmarte stroll is always a delight.
One never knows whom you might meet
standing in line for a morning crépe.


J' adore fresh flowers for my table!
Oh la la, Le Coq... Priceless!

This feisty guy is kept on a leash.


And this handsome man is Roscoe.



Roscoe is a Barnevelder who lives at
my sister and brother-in-law's.


He lives the easy life in a coop full of lady friends.



I'd say these two make a handsome couple!


It's been a full day! Let's stop for a little Tex Mex
at our favorite cantina.
On Wednesday evenings el gallo y su senorita
will be dancing on the patio.




Thanks for stopping by today. Please leave a comment so I'll know you visited, then click here to join Susan @ Southern Daydreamer to see a list of other Outdoor Wednesday posts.



Hope to see you tomorrow for Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch. HFTS will feature a tribute to Julia Child, complete with a special meal planned in Julia's honor. And there will be more roosters!


Two More Days!

The summer we married, my husband was in graduate school, and I was employed as a teacher. We took a portion of our savings that summer and purchased a sailboat. We christened our Catalina 22, “Hyacinths For The Soul” after Saadi’s poem. Our "Hyacinths" provided years of pleasure.

  5. Sarah,
    I like the leashed rooster the best! I had a run in early one morning with a fighting cock at a nursery. I certainly wished that one had been on a leash! I was living overseas in the Middle East, and it went after me by surprise. Luckily, I had a big purse for defense. I’m sure I looked rather silly screaming and batting at it with my pocketbook.

  9. That was a fun post, when you said roosters, I thought it would just be of a barnyard. Loved them all, even the barnyard.

  17. Sarah - What fun! I thoroughly enjoyed traveling with you and your husband...and seeing the roosters. I am still a big fan of the French roosters!!! Those would certainly love to add one of those to my meager collection.

    Have a fabulous weekend.

  18. Hi Sarah, I'v come to look at more of your rooster pictures. What a nice bunch you have there! So different and all so colourful.Love the Barnevelder, a Dutch breed of chickens. I'm more of a chicken girl then a rooster girl.I think chickens give a house such a homely touch. We had some up to some ten years agoo. Gave them ,coop and all to my brother.Sometimes I would like some new ones, but with 11 cats in the house it is just not practical.
    See you on the next blog party.
