The feathers of our California Quail garden sculpture. Weathered and a bit rusty since the day I purchased it, but still a great garden conversation piece.

A feather I found in the yard many years ago. Lit with a constant LED.

Come on, let me see you shake your tail feather

For Macro Monday's "abstract" theme.

After the peacock that I posted a couple of days ago enjoyed his fine dining on grubs in our front lawn this week, I thought a peacock feather might be an appropriate subject for the "abstract" theme.

Fun fact for the day: Peacock feathers are covered in microscopic crystal-like structures which help make the iridescent colours off their feathers shine! They are literally bejewelled!

Happy new week everyone.

PS - are you singing Blue's Brothers in your head right now ;)

Possibly a swan feather floating in the very green water of the pond in the park. Do Zoom in to see the detail.

Trichopoda sp.

Tijdens een wandeling met de hond vond ik deze twee veertjes langs de kant van de weg. Het leek me een geschikt onderwerp voor de challenge weerspiegeling.

While taking a walk with the dog, I found these two small feathers on the side of the road. I thought it would be a good subject for the challenge reflection.

Thanks for taking time to comment, fave and look at my work. I really appreciate.

I am always finding these little feathers coming out of my lounge cushions. They make a soft filling but the sharp end often finds its way through the fabric. Set up on a mirror this feather is 20mm long.

For this week's "Looking close... on Friday!" theme, "Reflection on Black Background". A Tawny Owl (Strix aluco) feather I found some weeks ago during a walk. Sometimes I bring random stuff home, and later find some use for it :)
