South Florida Photo of the Week 2/16/10

sfpow-2-16-10-by-c-dunn

This literary rooster likes to hang out in front of the Key West Public Library before it opens.  Librarian Christine Dunn took this photo.  Thanks to Under the Sun contributor, Nancy Klingener, for submitting this photo.

Listen to an Under the Sun story about a family that keeps chickens as pets.

Also, send your chicken photos to photos@wlrnunderthesun.org or, better yet, share them on our Under the Sun Flickr group.  Each week, we select a photo to feature here.

    I heard it on my way to work this morning - loved it! One of my first memories of Miami was driving home through Little Havana and seeing chickens by the side of the road. I couldn’t believe it. Now, less than a year later, it doesn’t even faze me when I see a whole flock of them in downtown Brickell.

Why We're Telling These Stories

From Abe Rich's nephew...

On behalf of my family, friends and those that were close to my Uncle - thank you! It is truly a treasure to have the piece recorded and available for us and future generations to cherish. The story really captures his character, persona and spirit. Abe was a simple man, a man who struggled to survive during a tragic era in our history. His traumas and survival instinct kept him alive in Europe, Israel and in Miami as he worked till he could no longer stand up. As it said on his shop wall... "There is no substitute for hard work." I believe you and everyone at WLRN work very hard to provide us with wonderful programming and go above and beyond your call of duty. Thank you very much.
