I never could have predicted that chickens would play such a significant role in my life or that photographing them would be so much fun. I was surprised and immensely flattered when real photographers began complimenting my work and magazine editors began asking to buy the rights to publish some of them. What I know about photography could fit on the head of a pin, but I do have a feel for composition and probably more importantly, I’m passionate about my subjects, so I suppose it balances out the technical ineptitude just a little bit.
While I take countless photos every week, only a few make it onto my Facebook page, so I am launching my first, weekly Flock Focus Friday. I hope you enjoy meeting some of the less well known characters in my backyard and re-visiting some memories from years past.
This girl doesn’t have a name yet. She is the only girl to have hatched from a cross between Blaze (a Black Copper Marans and Gilda, a Wheaten Marans). I think her coloring is really special.

Lovin' this new Flock Focus Friday…and your pictures are truly awesome !!! You are a blessing to all backyard chicken keepers far and wide. I can't count how many times I have referred to your blog posts or referred your blog to fellow chicken keepers. Thank you soooo much for all that you do !!!
Love these photos – You do have a great eye and obviously the subject matter makes it even better. (nicely done shallow depth of field on that dew-covered rose =) )
I would Love to have such a beautiful and varied variety of chickens!!
Thank you, Karen! :)
Small world, Eilene! I actually don't do tours because I try to keep biosecurity tight in my flock's best interest. Other chicken-keepers can carry diseases on their clothes and shoes that their birds do not display symptoms of, but that can make other flocks sick (and worse).
