The thoughtful rooster

I didn’t expect much from a rooster decoration, but in person I thought it was kind of cute. At least he can’t wake anybody up in the morning!

*****

The Capitol Hill Restoration Society has a "whimsical" scavenger hunt on their website in which you're given a large number of addresses on the Hill (along with pictures with no addresses), at which people have works of "art" in their front yards. Some of them are quite showy, some are small and rather ordinary, but we spent the afternoon tracking most of them down, and these are the resulting pictures. The society first introduced this tour last year but was again promoting it for their 2021 Mother's Day "Tour of Tours," so we thought we'd take them up on the challenge. Which it definitely was.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

There was a tin man now we have a tin rooster, he looks like he has been displayed before see some weather wear and tear.
You remark about not waking is an excellent one Helen.
Nice placement into the frame with excellent detail.
