If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard that utterance, I’d have some pocket change. 😄 A colorful, metal sculpture that resides in front of one of our great small town restaurants, 'Everyday Cafe'.

We have had a lot of snow during the night here in Bristol as you can see, first snow of 2013.

Been a real struggle today with the horrid light so was very pleased when this cock Pheasant sat up posing for the camera.

About the Breed

The merry and frolicsome Cocker Spaniel, with his big, dreamy eyes and impish personality, is one of the world's best-loved breeds. They were developed as hunting dogs, but Cockers gained their wide popularity as all-around companions. Those big, dark eyes; that sweet expression; those long, lush ears that practically demand to be touched'no wonder the Cocker spent years as America's most popular breed. The Cocker is the AKC's smallest sporting spaniel, standing about 14 to 15 inches. The coat comes in enough colors and patterns to please any taste. The well-balanced body is sturdy and solid, and these quick, durable gundogs move with a smooth, easy gait. Cockers are eager playmates for kids and are easily trained as companions and athletes. They are big enough to be sporty, but compact enough to be portable. A Cocker in full coat rewards extra grooming time by being the prettiest dog on the block. These energetic sporting dogs love playtime and brisk walks.

Hahn/Cock was a sculpture of a giant blue cockerel by the German artist Katharina Fritsch. It was unveiled in London's Trafalgar Square on 25 July 2013 and was displayed on the vacant fourth plinth. The fibreglass work stood 4.72 metres (15.5 ft) high and was the sixth work to be displayed on the plinth, on which it stayed until 17th February 2015.

 

It was unveiled on 25 July 2013 by Mayor of London Boris Johnson. He pointed out the irony that the cockerel, an unofficial national emblem of France, was standing in a square commemorating a famous British victory over the French. Fritsch has said that she was unaware of the connection until it was explained to her. According to Fritsch, she chose the cockerel to represent strength and regeneration, "but it's a nice humorous side-effect to have something French in a place that celebrates victory over Napoleon. He has come back as a cockerel!" Johnson said in his speech that "I hope French people will not take it as excessive British chauvinism – but for me it stands for the recent British triumph in the Tour de France, which we have won twice in a row … it is a symbol of French sporting pride, brought like a chicken to London. We have mounted this French cock at the heart of our imperial square."

 

Fritsch and Johnson have both noted the sexual double entendre in the work's name – hahn in German has the same double meaning as "cock" in English – and the artist admits that it is consciously intended as a play on words. She highlighted the fact that Trafalgar Square itself has a somewhat phallic character: "It's about male posing, about showing power, about showing … erections! I mean, look at that column!" Asked whether he felt that the cock had crushed his manhood, Johnson said: "No, not at all. I am happy to channel the power and enthusiasm of that bird; I feel inspired by its regal manner and mood of confidence." He told the crowd that he would "not lapse into double entendres and ask how long this wonderful creature will 'stay up' in the square," before unveiling what he called a "big, blue … bird."

Who frequently comes to pick up the seeds that the other birds drop from the feeders - my wife has named him 'Oscar' - as she has done over the years for other past Cock Pheasants

While I was trying to get the perfect isolated shot of a Cedar Waxwiing, which I didn't, it didn't take much pishing to get this Lincoln Sparrow flying out of the fields to see what was going on.

 

I'm not sure if the 'cocked head' was for me or the fly!...:)

After a little bit of evaluation of my Holga snaps I'm growing slightly more fond of them...not too much, but a bit. Can't help but feel the photo would look better with a nice glassy Dagor or Zeiss lens. But that's not the point of Holga though is it?
