Visitor

Back in June we had an unexpected visitor frequent our yard eating the cherries that had fallen from our cherry tree.  Even though we live in the city, with all the green around us, it is sometimes easy to forget, especially when we get visitors like this one!


He hung out somewhere in the weeds in the gully.  I don't know where he may have escaped from, but he would squeeze underneath the gap in our gate and he enjoyed feasting on our cherries.  He was quite shy and would run anytime we came near him, running back out through the gate.  He even managed to climb up on the fence and get into our neighbor's cherry tree.  Our neighbor thought we were pulling a prank on him until we showed him it really was a live rooster.

As all things must, our visitor couldn't stay long and he was relocated to a better home, but we had fun for the couple days he was around!
