  5. Ah, Ali, you never let us down. My history of art is sadly lacking. I never dreamed that there was an aristocracy of chickens and great works of art depicting their lives and lineage. This picture deserves a place in the most prestigious of museums. Fantastic!! (Thanks for the chuckles).

  12. Oh, Ali, had I not enlarged this to absorb every detail, I'd have missed those corner embellishments of feather and egg! Her "cap" looks like a feed sack with a bit of grain sticking to it. Your comments are hilarious, and your attention to detail inspiring! STANDING OVATION from my corner!
