Continuing our adventure on Wendover, this may well be one of our favorite photos on Greensboro Daily Photo; it captures the flavor of Old Greensborough in conflict with New Greensboro. This rooster lives in a little house on Wendover Avenue at the corner of Bridford Parkway, one of Greensboro's busiest retail corridors. Mr. Rooster shares a yard with tethered dogs, dog houses and roaming cats. On a quiet Sunday morning, he and his free range buddies can be heard for miles around, "cock-a-doodle-doo..."
The vehicles in the background are zooming along Wendover and the little brick house is a neighbor of the Sapp Road house (featured Thursday). The white strip on the right is a roof at the shopping center. We have to chuckle because, little does Mr. Rooster realize, he is making a beeline into the parking lot of Greensboro's Spay and Neuter Clinic! Oh, and why did the rooster cross the road?......
to get away from the camera-crazy Mrs. Greensboro Daily Photo, of course! Some of her best friends behave the same way! Visit Camera Critters to see more animal photos!

this photo is soooo Greensboro! Not only does the rooster cross the road, he does it against traffic. A perfect blending of times past and times au current. A "seize the absolute moment" photo. Brava!!

I'm one of those who, like the rooster, try to get as far away as possible from Mrs. GDP when she's in camera-mode. A terrific photo and write-up. JTM
