"Macro Mondays" this week's theme "Summer Olympic Sports" HMM
Since 1992, badminton has been a Summer Olympic sport with five events: men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles.
The shuttlecock cone is formed from 16 or so overlapping feathers, usually goose or duck, embedded into a rounded cork base. The cork is covered with thin leather. To ensure that shuttlecock rotate consistently, only feathers from the birds' left wings are used. Feather shuttles may come off the strings at speeds in excess of 320 km/h (200 mph).

Glass eyes and porcelain skin
Look to her and think of sin
Her touch is like a hazy dream
Her mind is in a world unseen...

A stern looking Javan myna is protecting a feather it found. In Fort Canning, Singapore. It got too hot for sightseeing. So I stopped to look for birds in the shade.

Great Horned Owl Owlet all puffed up and giving me the eye. This is one of three and was doing it's best to stay near mom who was close by.
Early morning dew drops on a Collared Dove feather, magnifying those intricate details quite nicely too!
Listen: like a feather - Nikka Costa
I'm coming out of my wishing well where only echoes lonely hear my prayers
I'm coming around to bend cause my resistance been to persistent
I've come to far to force it so I'll watch it slide and land
I could come on strong and willful but
I'd rather watch it fall to the palm of my hand
and when I set it free like a feather it will be
and when I rise to see it done like whatever it will be, it will be, it will be, yeah
I'm taking a breather baby from sitting on pins waiting for my sky to fall
I'm taking up giving in so here's the wheel, I'm putting my feet up
take another look at me baby today I'm taking on catastrophe
I'd rather take it easy then try to force what's on its way to me
and when I set it free like a feather it will be
and when I rise to see it done like whatever it will be, it will be, it will be, yeah yeah
we're only afraid if we pull back the blinds too far
the lights behind that we free will blind other stars
but the truth doesn't blind it helps to see far
so get ready to be
who you are
Thanks Tomis :-)
