Cock A Doodle Doo

Day 8 of the motorcycle adventure had us visiting Lukenbach, Texas. We didn't spot Whalen, Willie, or any of the gang, but this large and colorful rooster was hanging around the stage area.
Really great capture, Ron. Great details and colors and composition. Fav!

Fabulous detail. He certainly is very handsome.
I spotted Whalen and Willie at Tocal Festival a few months ago.

quincey, is that you???? quincey was a fighting cock i used to take care of for the neighbour when i was 8. i think he was eventually fried or something because he disappeared one day and i never saw him again. but this one looks so much like quincey - as a remember him.

Always did love Waylon's voice. Really nice colors on the Rooster.

That is one handsome cock a doodle doo! Funny how skinny their necks really are when all those feathers are absent.

@thirdjoe Thank you kindly, Joe. I got lucky - he happened to be standing in a spot where the sun was streaming down just on him.

@kauaikris Thanks, Kristina - he allowed me to get pretty close for this shot. Probably not his first photo.

@onewing Lucky you! I guess that they really did used to hang out here - it's a very unusual and intimate venue.

@gilbertwood Thanks, Denise. I never really noticed such colors in a rooster before - not that I've spent a lot of time studying roosters. But it did occur to me that there was actually some resemblance to the guy on the Corn Flakes box. ;-)

@summerfield Could have been a Quincy - I didn't check his claws for spurs. :-O

@joysfocus Thanks for the comment, Joy. As I mentioned to Joe, the sun happened to be hitting him, bringing out the colors nicely. Lucky capture.

@lyndemc Thanks Denise! And I shudder to think what you were doing when you were removing the poor cock's neck feathers. ;-)

Really handsome fellow.....and, very colorful!! They do drive you crazy at the crack of dawn, though.....and, @lyndemc Denise was probably wringing its neck for that same reason!! ;-)))
