Passion can be a Dominicker Rooster! by louannwarren

Passion can be a Dominicker Rooster!

"Passion" is the February Word for today. Passion is described as "a strong feeling or enthusiasm for something". I have collected roosters for over 40 years and when I find a unique one I am certainly passionate about having it. This Dominicker is one of two taxidermied roosters I own. He is from Sausalito, California, and mounted on a piece of driftwood - perfect for a Californian! He resides in my kitchen but I thought he would look spiffier sitting outside on the waterfall for his 365 debut. Smile.
What a beautiful rooster. Really like the feathers on his tail.

I'm glad my favorite changed the scale and brought your rooster on the PP.

@bruni I have wondered about the method used to select a photo for the PP, if it was comments and favs, etc. So, absolutely, thank you for your Fav!!!!

He's fabulous! I'm assuming you were in Sausalito when you found him? Such a great little town! I'm smiling back now that I know how much you like roosters...

@Weezilou My sister called me while she was vacationing in California and I bought him sight unseen and had him shipped to my office. My assistant was terrified of him, she said he was looking at her and giving her the evil eye. I took him home that evening but we always have laughed about her fear of him. I love Sausalito, it is such a lovely place!

@bizziebeeme @kwind @bkbinthecity @bruni The funny thing about my "stuffed" roosters is what great conversation starters they are, it seems everyone has a rooster story! Thank you for your comments and favs!
