a little feather I found yesterday. For 'Smile on Saturday', the theme is "Feathers".

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

who you are

Thanks Tomis :-)

A feather (not natural, I believe has been dyed) stands out against a blue background.

With the feathers you are found, you can build yourself something beautiful. I was lucky to get some pale lens flares too.

Abstract from nature.

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

Had another great day of shooting the swallows at the lake - due to heavy rain and wind. Got several passes of this tree swallow - or I _think_ it was the same one, based on the state of the feathers in the wings and tail. it definitely seemed undeterred by the damage!

Great Egret preening...

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

Smile On Saturday, Topic Feather

For more details you can click on pic .

Have a greet weekend and thank you for visiting!

NB. No human that I could see frightened these Wood Ducks (Aix sponsa) to take flight. Just skittish.

Basically as shot in RAW with no curves or vibrancy or saturation. Some slight effort to reduce noise from ISO 5000. Should I try to enhance?

Thanks for looking!

Perhaps I should make an album of outtakes someday.

This little white feather, about 20 mm across, was sitting on top of a coleus leaf in the garden...
