A grey and a white feather from my big bag of feathers, some in better condition than others .....
The grey one is 3" long and I cropped the image accordingly
Pied Shags at Zealandia Ecosanctuary, Wellington New Zealand (named Karuhiruhi in New Zealand or otherwise known as the Pied Cormorant - Phalacrocorax).
Shags have evolved from a family of birds who are considered primitive because they do not produce feather oils like ducks and other water fowl. They must dry their feathers periodically in order to fly or even remain buoyant, so they remain perched for significant periods of time with wings outstretched.
Being on vacation I had to use one of my parents feathers that they have kept. This one was a feather from a hawk that visits them often.
Happy MM
Combining the flexible strength of the shaft and rachis with the gentle, fluffy afterfeathers ... two feathers from our garden.

Theme: Feathers

Back to Trout Lake and an early morning frost on the Sunshine Coast. The weather called for a touch of snow on this day, which led to plenty of interesting candy coated trees. My thought on this shot was to use the red frost covered trees, to imitate a shadow, to the white frost covered trees. In turn, that would help give the illusion of dimension.
When I saw the ducks land and begin to swim, they turned and angled straight for my shot, as if it were planned. Perhaps it is true when they say, "luck favours the prepared".

There's peacocks down the road at the winery. I was never able to catch them this year for a photo but my husband found feathers on the side of the road for me.
Something a little unusual., a feather in calm water made for a nice photo opportunity., but it became an irresistible photo opportunity when our special guest star Damselfly dropped in and decided to go surfing on it!
The little guy actually turned out to be pretty good on his improvised surf board., that was until another Damsel came along and knocked him off!
For "Macro Mondays" group theme "Broken"
Always something happening in a garden - most I never hear or see. But we do have a relatively tame pheasant that has some form of conflict with magpies, pigeons and other visitors. Sometimes there are broken feathers left!
So placed on my desktop and sprayed with a bit of water (!) here is the latest offering!
This subject wasn't what I had in mind for the week's challenge - I was going to photograph a broken eggshell but when I looked I wasn't interested enough and the feather just seemed that little bit different.
