Today is all about this cock

What does one expect to find when visiting a winery in NoCal? A rooster, of course.


The thing about the universe is that there is always something good hidden in something bad. Sometimes it takes a while to find it - sometimes it takes forever to see it all - but there's always some way to spin a crappy outcome if we let ourselves imagine a little bit farther. Take this rainy day in Northern California. It was wet and cold and there were clunky umbrellas and scarves and hats and boots, but the rain made everything look the freshest it has ever looked. It also really made this picture. The "mandatory" 5% red per photo plus a lush green landscape of grape stalks trailing off into the horizon? Look right here and smile at the camera, because this sounds like a photo opportunity to me.

If the world is weighing too heavily on you today, then just take a lesson from this rooster. It had no problem with the rain; it was simply waddling around with its wattle swinging, tutting at the ground, minding the rest of the beautiful scenery.

Fun fact: There are more chickens in the world than any other bird species (on the order of 25 billion).

And that's the approximately-one photo of the week!
