Recently, on a wintry day, I was struck by horizontal rows of beings, out enduring the cold.
As our family ventured out to go sledding, there was a perfect line-up of parents right on the crest of the hill. It was a beautiful spot, with the trees forming their own line as a backdrop. Some people were all decked out for adventure, some held coffee cups, and all were engrossed in the action going down.
Bundled up there in a row, the cold parents reminded me of our chickens, who likewise form a line-up, usually in the the sun against the house. 1-2-3-4-5-6. Catching rays, pecking around.
I guess there is something about standing side-by-side, facing the cold, eating or drinking, and watching the show.
hahahaha - What a great conmparison, and I love the photos. Nature at its "funnest" == humans, chickens, and beautiful snow and sunshine,
