Description
Photography is a always to me a suprizing and unknown venture into just being there and letting it happen . Being the observer and shooting the world as it comes!! . You can plan it and maybe even have the ideal in your head . But usually you have to take what is reality and go with it. haha..I was a little annoyed at the time then but now I kinda like this shot here. See I had hoped/wanted to take a picture of the new born chicks hatching for Easter . BUT THEN theres the reality. THis guy Mr. cocky Rooster!. The patriarch!!! He was alert and determined not to let me get the shot !! HE seemed to take it to heart to gaurd the hen house . I even tried to distract him with food. But he wouldnt fall for it. His duty came first. He was CLEARLY in charge.!! Now I am a patient person and waited for quite a while . But nope !! LOL Everytime I tried to get my camera near he almost pecked my lense out . ITs a very funny thing now when I look back on it but I was really WORRIED About my camera then!
It is amazing to me the system and order in the Animal kingdom and how parents protect instinctively. I didn't really know roosters did this kinda protective thing until I experianced it . There were actually two male gaurding like soilders at thier posts( you can see the other on the other side in this image here ) But this guy was the most determined and fierce and no getting past his gaurdianship assertivness!! ( there was a heaveier fence from above so I knew I had to get down low to shoot.) The Hens moved and blocked my view and this rooster was determined to block me. Now I look at this shot and it makes me laugh . SO I thought I would share the story with you today!!...
Havn't been on much its spring break and the girls are home and still recovering from thier illness. Thank you for all your time and comments !!
((( Big hugs )))
Love to you all!!

Great photo Kimmers. Won't find me messin with those chickens.
Great pic Kimmie..loved your story..I had a similar adventure with a turkey, except he wasn't trying to peck my camera. His head is about waist high, so you get the picture...Like you..it wasn't funny then, but it is now thinking back on it.
This is definitely the King of the Barnyard. Great to have such guys, as long as they know what they're doing. Marvellous portrait!
