CHICKY

When I was pregnant, I couldn’t eat anything that looked like a bird.  The smell of fresh-roasted chicken made me ill.  And, while I could eat a chicken nugget or bad, food-service breaded chicken patty, the mere sight of a drumstick would make me violently ill.  At the time, I worked behind the cheese counter at The Gourmet Shop–which was, and still is, famous for the hundreds of pounds of chicken salad they make & sell everyday.  That job didn’t last long.  This next Call IS NOT for roasted birds; I suspect they would prefer imagery of birds that are still very much alive.  Just sayin’…

Check out this Call for Entries from Connecticut Audubon Society (Fairfield, CT)  for the the 5th Annual Birds and Their Habitat art exhibit & sale.  Put your work in front of people interested in buying.  See for yourself…
