I continue to be mesmerized (photographically, maybe spiritually) by the kinetic ballet of the chickens when they eat – heads down, tails up, in sync. I am growing fonder of chickens all the time. They have more distinct personalities that one might think, and I am glad to hear they are returning to cities in large numbers. It is true what they say – once you eat a fresh chicken egg, you may never eat another from a supermarket. Cluck local. I have taken hundreds of chicken photos and Maria thinks some of them might work as notecards or single photos. Maria is putting a small number of  chicken, egg and flower notecards up for Spring and Easter on her website at 4 p.m. today.
