In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Symbol.”
This week, share a symbol with us, and tell us what it means to you.
This Rooster is a symbol of Key West and any visitor who travels around town will work hard to avoid them as they dart out into the roadway. This particular Rooster spent his Sunday morning protecting his hen displaying an act of chivalry as old as humanity.
His colorful plumage offers a complete portrait as a symbol of Key West Florida.

He is a beautiful symbol, showing off his glorious colours!
What a beauty, especially the top two!
Hey Cindy, thanks for the comments. I really think he was posing for the photo.
We had backyard chickens till recently but roosters weren’t allowed – too unneighbourly!
Several neighborhoods in town have an over abundance of the roosters who crow throughout the day.
Beautiful!
Thank you Maggie.
Never knew this about Key West…thank you for sharing. I guess we will need to come see these red top beauties! d
It is a sight to see so many roosters, hens and chicks in various stages walking around.
My symbol is infinity. I will always be me in some fashion.
That is unique and I never thought of the infinity symbol. Great perspective bowman author.

My husband and I spent two weeks on a road trip from our home in Chattanooga (NoogaStrong!) heading to our Key West destination, and I think we saw this very rooster strutting his stuff ~ you captured the colors so beautifully!
