The Lil' Chickens are roosting in Marietta....(photo essay)...pt. 1

I've been meaning to post this for a while and just haven't seemed to have time. This fall tehre were 15 little chickens stationed all around the Marietta, Georgia square area. These little chickens are minitures of the Big Chicken we have down on Hwy 41 (which is actually a KFC).

Angela and I went down to see and photograph the chickens. We were able to see all but one.

Now this next one looks the same on both sides...

I guess even chickens need their coffee....

Some of the chickens are so highly decorated and different that I had to show you all the sides. This one was one of Angela's favorite....hmm...can you guess why?

 

I guess even chickens read newspapers....I wonder if it is The New Yolk Times...or the Chickago Sun-Times....(Sorry, I couldn't resist).

 

This one is called Turn Right at the Big Chicken. The plaque was missing off of it.

Now this next one is SOOO Georgia....and it's so neat....

Now on to one of my favorites....I just think someone did such a beautiful job.

I know exactly where this building is....

I hope you've enjoyed looking at the Lil' Chickens of Marietta....I'll have the rest of them posted later today, hopefully.

These are neat mom. Oh, you also have a typo on the first line.

Jax,
This was great. Are you ok?
lynn a. Feb 6, 2009, 10:26am EST
Almost missed this one. So glad I noticed Part 2 on the other. Jax, this must have been quite an adventure. I had a good time roaming through the park looking at them. Very cool.
Wonderful photo essay. I do enjoy all of your photos, what kinda camera you shooting there with?
LOL@ Pher......

Oh yeah, thanks for the comments and concerns over my husband's current health conditions. My friend's here at Gather are really priceless.

These are SO cool! They did something like that around here in Gainesville FL a few years back...it was GATORS, of course.
I love them all, they're so colorful..but the Gone with the Wind one is my favorite.
Jenn P. Feb 9, 2009, 10:16pm EST
cool
JOHN BECK Feb 10, 2009, 6:53am EST
Great photo collection. Those were some creative entries. Here in Sturgeon Bay they do sturgeons and the interpretations are also creative and unique.
JoAnn C. Feb 17, 2009, 11:38pm EST
that would be cool to see
