Refresh-ing

Henny, having heard about all the hot weather her friends are having to endure, decided to put her bikini back on and try for a little dip.  She also likes this idea because the Illustration Friday theme for the week is "refresh."  Should she decide to jump in here in the still chilly NW, I think she will find herself more than refreshed...
Hmmm...do chickens get goosebumps?

    Hmmmm - do I detect a tinge of green? My Dad always
    said Washingtonians don't tan over on the West
    side, they gently mold.

    Love it! And chickens definitely get goose bumps although probably not as big as geese get them... ;)

    Oh marvelous. I can't imagine a more stylish bikini and hat combo. Might I suggest a little wading to determine whether the full submersion treatment is advisable?

    Chickens do get goosebumps - when you pluck 'em! Don't tell Henny :-)

    XD, she has no complex, I´m glad for her! Very nice illo and, besides, I´ve learnt a new english expression: goosebump. I´d never heard this, so I looked for it in google and now my vocabulary has been improved. In spanish you say "piel de gallina", by de the way.

    :-))

    Henny is adorable and full of confidence despite her inner tube being stretched to the limits, she has no room for goosebumps
    Fabulous

    If Henny just dives in, do you suppose she can right herself if she's floating bottoms-up?

    It's funny, but when I see that tight inner tube and all that plumpness, I think about the sound it made when she screwed it on. You know that sound a balloon makes when you rub it on the wall??

    Henny clearly suffers a sunstroke. Does she know she is a bird and that only mammals have boobs? And that therefore only donkey's, apes, humans and dolphins...yes only mammals need bikini tops?

    Oh my! This is just priceless! Love the matching hat! Was Henny on West Dennis Beach on Cape Cod (MA) last weekend? Because I swear I saw her there....or someone who looked an awful lot like her anyway.....

    I love how ready Henny looks to enjoy the sun & warmth...and how wonderful that now the Northwest is providing her with loads of it!
    Remember your sunscreen Henny...especially for those cute chicken arms!
