Description


Hello All !!! Here is my oldest daughter Annie captured with a huge fluffy silkie chicken at my cousin Kelly's farm. The sun was setting was a little dark but I loved the back light on her hair & how she so curiously investigated this this funny chicken who gazed right back at her. These funny birds look like little, fluffy chicken-llamas (LOL) The main characteristic that makes the Silkie Bantam unique is the texture of its plumage. Their feathers have a silky, almost fur-like texture. Silkie's also have abundant plumage on their legs and an impressive crest on their heads. Another oddity associated with the Silkie Bantam is the fact that their feet have five toes instead of four. Silkie's can either have beards or not, and they are the only known chicken with black skin. The Silkie is believed to have come from China thousands of years ago. Ancient writers speak of a chicken with hair instead of feathers, and many experts believe they are referring to the Silkie. It is thought that Marco Polo first exported the Silkie's from China sometime during the 13th century. The Silkie Bantams that are popular today have been modified through the centuries, with various other breeds introduced to produce such characteristics as the feathered legs. They are unique mothers and will care for anything that falls in their wake, from baby ducks etc. They come in a variety of colors and types and generally all look adorable ! The breed has several other unusual qualities, such as black flesh and bones, blue earlobes, and five toes on each foot (most chickens only have four). They are often exhibited in poultry shows, and come in several colors. In addition to their distinctive physical characteristics, Silkies are well known for their calm, friendly temperament. Among the most docile of poultry, Silkies are considered an ideal pet. I love this picture of Annie- shows her always curious and investigative poky puppy personality that is so much like mine ( when people call they always get our voices mixed up and cannot tell us apart)... Annie made me the most beautiful homemade card with a poem she wrote this morn for my 43rd birthday ( augh omg ah am OLD!!! _ ) that touched me so deeply -she is all heart !!! I haven't put that many pics up of her in my gallery so am putting this one up today !!! thanks for your time and comments !!!! Love to you all !!! ((( BIG HUGS ))) Kimmers ! ♥ :O)

I don't know how you do it, but you always manage to get illumination in your images somewhere, somehow, some way. Your daughter & the silkie are fine enough, both looking in the same angle & same gaze (it's uncanny), and yes, that's one far-out looking chicken! But you've got the sun pouring into Annie's hair, the silkie's hair and (little miracle) the lower portion of Annie's arm—a hint of light from outside...and of course the dissolved trees in the sun in your background. It's the touch you seem to find over and over in your work. Just beautiful for both your daughter & the image. As for your birthday (you little sneak, sticking it into the very end of your description which I discover the day after!), I did an image. I'd give you a link, but I'm too lazy to look up the code for usable links (yeah, I'm a cur), so it's the image in my gallery for 10/17. Happy birthday and many more! You have a wonderful body of work, which is but a glimmer of your life & heart! Hope you had a wonderful day! A beautiful image to grace it...Mark

What a wonderful photo!!! I love the composition and the lighting is gorgeous, I like her backlit hair!!! I totally love chickens. I actually had a pet one who lived in the house, his name was Harry Chickenson, we thought he was a hen so I named him/her Emily Chickenson until he grow a huge comb on the top of his head and then the penny dropped...she was a he!!!!

Awww. Happy birthday, Kimmie!!!!!!!!!! I hope you had an absolutely fabulous day. This is really wonderful. I love the backlighting, too, and how you captured Annie's inquisitive nature so perfectly. And that chicken is a hoot! I've never seen one like it before. Who could ever eat such a cutie? That's it. I'm becoming a vegetarian now, lol. Anyway, once again, hope you had the happiest of birthdays, sweetie. Many, many, many more!!!! -M :^)
