Rooster Weather Vane/ Ruby Tuesday


This busy rooster monitors wind direction...which is quite a job on a windy day!

    Cute silver detail make a great contrast with the red roof.
    Wonderful picture!

    Love it, EG. the snow on the roof, the red chimney (?) and the red comb on the rooster is just the right touch. MB

    It would make me dizzy twirling around. We have had plenty of wind lately too.
    Happy RT EG.

    Does he go "Cock-a-doodle-do" when the wind hits him in the face? Great shot, EG!

    Great weather vane. Great winter picture. The rooster seems to be in excellent shape too, even after all the "weather" we have had this winter.

    He looks quite puffed up and proud - reminds me of Foghorn Leghorn a bit :).

    Love the little hint of red on the top of the roosters head (if I wasn't a city girl I would probably know what that red thing was called).

    The rooster stands out proudly, his red comb perfect for RT. The red chimney is also ruby, and much larger. It is nice to have a weathervane with a stylish chicken on top to help us determine which way the wind blows. Nice capture!

    Roosters are red, violets are blue..

    I don't know why that popped into my head!

    Nice ruby finds on the roof.

    Happy Ruby Tuesday!

    I've always loved rooster weather vanes, rooster plaques, rooster trays, rooster book covers but never actually owned any. This photo makes me remember why I was drawn to them but doesn't help me understand how I could hanker after them without acquiring them. I worked it off by giving roostery things to my mother.

    Do people ever shovel the snow off their roofs? I like your bubbling water above.
    Happy RT! Thank you for peeking in on my dog's mess. :-)

    Oh yes, we have some snow here tonight, just north of Houston, Texas.
