Looking Good

There is something about roosters. I don't know what it is that captivates us so.  Is it their colorful feathers, their strut or their attitude?  Whatever it is there is not an artist I know that can resist painting a rooster at least once.
This guy was strutting around a parking lot at a small shopping area in The Keys.  He was oblivious to all traffic, motorized or pedestrian.  He was really the cock of the walk.
