~ It's All About The Chickens ...: A Foxy Looking Gentleman

At great risk of repetition (because it is), I'm including a short post today on our resident foxy looking gentleman. He came trotting through again this morning ... I hadn't seen him since late last spring. I was quite relieved to see him. He's quite the dandy and always brings Beatrix Potter and Jemima Puddle Duck to mind when I see him.

Isn't he handsome? Besides the Beatrix Potter classics, I've added here two of his compatriots from my shop. One is from the Tallis's Scriptures Natural History For Youth, a wonderful 1850 folio edition of lovely hand colored engravings and the other is a gorgeous chromolithograph from the 1894 Royal Natural History, a Victorian reference.

My foxy gentleman was far too quick for me to grab the camera - no captures for me today; he totally surprised me. This is how I captured him last year ~ he doesn't seem to have changed much over the year.
