Sabellidae, or feather duster worms, are a family of marine polychaete tube worms characterized by protruding feathery branchiae. Sabellids build tubes out of a tough, parchment-like exudate, strengthened with sand and bits of shell. Unlike the other sabellids, the genus Glomerula secretes a tube of calcium carbonate instead. Sabellidae can be found in subtidal habitats around the world. Their oldest fossils are known from the Early Jurassic. Feather-duster worms have a crown of feeding appendages or radioles in two fan-shaped clusters projecting from their tubes when under water. Each radiole has paired side branches making a two-edged comb for filter feeding. Most species have a narrow collar below the head. The body segments are smooth and lack parapodia. The usually eight thoracic segments bear capillaries dorsally and hooked chaetae (bristles) ventrally. The abdominal segments are similar, but with the position of the capillaries and chaetae reversed. The posterior few abdominal segments may form a spoon-shaped hollow on the ventral side. Size varies between tiny and over 10 cm (2.5 in) long. Some small species can bend over and extend their tentacles to the sea floor to collect detritus. (Wikipedia) Mabini, South Luzon, Philippines.
My first attempt at photo-stacking, 7 shots taken randomnly at different focus points , Raw images processed in Lightroom, jpgs exported and combined in Photoshop. Any advice offered to improve on this will be appreciated.
I have since acquired a Velbon super mag slider rail so the next time I'll move the camera instead of adjusting the lens but I still see a weak link in the processing of the images from L/R to PS. None of the articles I've seen go into much detail perhaps because they assume that everybody knows the intricasies of PS.
Smile on Saturday: FEATHERS
Diese Feder brachte mir mein Sohn aus dem Urlaub mit. Was ich bis jetzt nicht wusste, es ist eine Zauberfeder !! 😜
My son brought me this feather from his holiday. What I didn't know until now, it is a magic feather !! 😜
Black-Capped Chickadee.
Between 4 3/4 to 5 3/4 inches long. Black cap and throat, white cheeks, gray back and dull white underparts. Wing feathers narrowly and indistinctly edged with white.
They can be found in deciduous and mixed forests, and open woodlands and suburban areas in winter.
They range from Alaska east across Canada to Newfoundland, and south to northern California, northern New Mexico, Missouri and northern New jersy. Winters south to Maryland and Texas.

Off to celebrate my Dad's 84th Birthday, so sorry to post and
I lost count of how many times I chased this feather as it took off in the breeze. Gave me some exercise and tickled me. HMM!

Goose feather adrift at locla pond. You know I Luv me some pond floaters.
(Always hand held. I did to a tiny edit. I remove 3 very ugly pieces of slim. Hope you can't see it. Not good at that stuff)
Happy Throw back Thursday.
Sulphur-crested Cockatoo's down feather left on yellow Grevillea flowers
Both Australian native
Very large as a down feather, so I think this is a cockatoo's feather.
*this is not macro
A clear view of the spread tail feathers is necessary for a definitive identification, but this is about 95% likely to be an Allen's rather than the very similar Rufous hummingbird. Newport Beach Back Bay, California

Smile on Saturday - Feathers
A late entry as my grandson came to play...we had great fun.
I found this feather on the beach during our trip to Anglesey at the beginning of last year. Our last trip before Covid and the lockdowns hit. The egg shells from pigeons nesting in our garden are falling apart now so not sure I'll manage another shot with them.
Have a wonderful weekend
I like to capture birds in different poses other than just perched on a branch. I was watching this dove through my lens for a long time and all at once it stretched a wing and one side of its body. The different types of feathers came into view. Even the downy under feathers.

This feather was stuck on a branch - I took a close up and inverted the image (something along those lines - still figuring out what I can do in photoshop - should really read the manual but it's more fun this way...)
My feathers in a birds nest. I found all the feathers and the nest too. This week’s submission for Smile on Saturday! Thank you for your visit, faves and comments 🙏. Second from the left is the feather of a Golden Eagle. The brown one which is pretty wide is from a Hawk. Three large striped feathers are off a Wild Turkey. Blue feathers in front I found attached in a small cluster. Not sure if from baby Blue Jay?
Two wet goldfinches (female, left, and male) in the rain. I don't think they mind rain much.
Will be sorry to see them migrate inland and south soon. Already fewer of them.
Good morning, Flickr friends:)
This is a collection of feathers from our yard, see if you can guess the birds!
Thank you all for your well wishes, so kind:) I haven't seen your lovely images but over time will try...
Theme: Flatlay - ME loves MT
Thank you for visiting!
Whilst watching a pair of swans preening in the morning light I saw these two small feathers floating on the surface of the water, having been plucked out during preening.
