For my first edition of "Throwback Thursday" in May, 2019 (my latest 'sweeps month'), I have a change-of-pace 'photo-op' of an animal besides a dog I'd recently encountered...

Usually on Thursdays, I commute by bus and on foot to the Swap Shop (flea market) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida - where I'd join Funimal for bargains galore. While there, I usually come across the occasional dog or cat (generally owned by a vendor or a potential customer, OR possibly a stray)…

On this particular week, my walk from the bus stop to said flea market took me past a local park. As I strolled down Sunrise Boulevard to my destination, I'd seen a white and red rooster on the grassy outskirts of said park. The last time I saw him, I'd attempted to take its picture with the digital camera feature of my smartphone... but by the time
my camera was ready, the rooster ducked behind a bush, and remained hidden there.

This time around, I stood a good distance away from the rooster, as I'd prepared my camera for the 'photo-op'. And, rather than approach him, I'd used the 'zooming lens' - bringing the bird's image much closer to me - as I'd caught him in motion. After snapping the shutter, I'd resumed my walk to the Swap Shop. And the rooster still stood on the grass, when I'd left...
