Strut by darylo

Strut

Oh, I enjoyed my time in the mountains, but now that I am back, I've been plagued with my cold/cough/throat symptoms, and I've been entering grades and setting up my online course for the next term...sooooooo...here is a rooster from our horseback riding adventure yesterday whilst still in the mountains.

Tomorrow, I will meet a friend for Pho, and I hope to get in a "get-pushed" urban shot there. Pho Sho.
Lovely bird shot-hope u feel better,how 'bout a warm ginger tea w/honey ?

What a fun looking rooster with plenty of color. What course do you teach?
October 16th, 2013  
@jodimuli ooooh, sounds sooooo good. :)

@megmills I teach a Composition I course online with a college in Nebraska (but I live in GA). :)

Get well soon. Great action shot xx
October 16th, 2013  
Great shot! Hope you feel better quickly!

A shot of whiskey a tablespoon of honey and a teaspoon of lemon heated in the microwave taken right before bed with about four blankets on top of you should take care of that throat! Try it!

Terrific colors in this rooster. Great shot of him.

Pretty boy! Hope you feel better soon! I was diagnosed with a touch of pneumonia today, so I hope that's not what you have, considering our symptoms are similar! :/

@grammyn No whiskey here, but I can get honey and lemon. :) The throat thing is one of the most bothersome.

@juliedduncan I've been afraid I have something that is like that. Last time I had a bad case of bronchitis that was going pneumonia real fast. I'm going on two weeks now. Pretty exhausting. :( May just go see Dr. by Friday if tomorrow I don't feel better.
October 17th, 2013  
nice capture... he does look like he's set to rule the roost... hope ou get better soon!
October 17th, 2013  
@darylo Yes, please see the Dr. He can make it all better! :)
October 17th, 2013  
Fantastic shot. I'm finding that the mountains and trees, and maybe a little too much leaf peeping, have just about done me in too. I've got to go get some better allergy meds. Hope you feel better soon.
October 17th, 2013  
Nice detail and color. Feel well soon
October 17th, 2013  
He's a looker! Hope you feel better soon!
October 17th, 2013  
Great looking rooster. You were so close to him!
October 17th, 2013  
great shot! Feel better soon:)
October 17th, 2013  
o yeah!
October 17th, 2013  
What a beautiful rooster and love your capture.
October 17th, 2013  
Excellent photo, horrible pun. But I laughed.
October 17th, 2013  
Fab shot! This rooster is beautiful and he knows it as he struts his stuff ;-) Sorry about your cold, get lots of rest and feel better soon!

@darylo The whiskey is essential because it lets you sleep. I'm serious.
October 17th, 2013  
@grammyn Amazingly, I have been able to sleep; I just don't wake up feeling good. :( I think I'll have to see Dr. tomorrow. Nothing is going away and I'm starting to feel really depleted. Last time, I had a bad case of bronchitis that was about to turn pneumonia. This time, I have an added headache and sore throat with the cough, so it's just no fun. I'm going for Vietnamese Pho today and hope something in that broth will work magic, but I'm going in to Dr. in the a.m. if things don't turn. Waaaah. :(
October 17th, 2013  
@squamloon I know. I blame it on being sick. :/
October 17th, 2013  
@darylo Poor baby (said as she hugs you to her shoulder and pats you on the back tenderly) My cure will work, though, I promise you! the extra blankets will raise your temperature so the virus is killed and you will be quickly on your way to recovery! ;~}

Looks cozy.. I love hens :)
October 17th, 2013  
Wow love that red.
October 17th, 2013  
I've never seen a rooster that looked like that! What an interesting find . . . hope you are feeling better soon.
October 17th, 2013  
Hope you don't have bird flu. All kidding aside, get well soon. Lovely colours on the rooster.
October 18th, 2013  
great catch and color
October 18th, 2013  
Wonderful capture!
October 18th, 2013  
Beautiful looking rooster, lovely colours.
October 18th, 2013  
This is a wonderful shot, great focus.
October 20th, 2013  
Yay! Love this! Colors and clarity are awesome!

@taffy oddly this is the photo selected for the restaurant exhibit. I thought I had not cropped it so much but I'm so lost on how to proceed to print and frame...was expecting another (better) shot to be picked! Could I call you this week? Thanks so much for the advice on my post today!! I'll be gone all day tomorrow but I'll email you when I get back. :) oh and I never thanked you for the fireworks shots!!! Thanks so much. Presentation went great. But daughter left camera in Japan...ugh

Sure -- give me a call at your convenience. What I think you might want to do is call the service folks at matboard.com -- theyve been good to work with. I would predict that they will cut a custom mat for you with the opening you need, and a standard outer measurement so that you don't have to do a customize frame which is what gets expensive. I think it's exciting that you're going to have these hanging in public places!! I think you have my cell but if not, shoot me an email and I'll send you cell and land line info.

And for what it's worth, this shot really is a fun one and I can imagine a restaurant wanting it hanging there. Sort of thematic with food??? In a 'what it used to be' sort of way!
