The Sun is in Taurus, and today's safari is a bloodless bullring. 

Whether raging or quiet, I am in awe of this powerful presence!

As it often happens, a series of serendipitous coincidences has led me

to discover this lovely addendum to Sunday's Roosterfest.

It seems that the fantastic Graphis magazine had a thing for roosters too...
