The New York Times named it the ‘most handsome inn in the world’. People have been staying here since 1619 but I felt that although Jacobean, it has an air of a Dickens novel about it.

The Feathers’ famous half-timbered Tudor façade is adorned with carved wooden motifs of the Prince of Wales’ three feathers emblem, which gives the hotel its name.

I was out looking for feathery bird things today and first of all found these feathery flowers to shoot!

I love this feather especially with the little white heart on the left side. :)

I took this for the group Looking close...on Friday! Minimalism on a black background.

Almost placed this picture last week, but I did choose another one, so now this picture has a chance to shine ;-)

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

Hope is the Thing With Feathers

~Emily Dickinson~

Hope is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul,

And sings the tune without the words,

And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;

And sore must be the storm

That could abash the little bird

That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,

And on the strangest sea;

Yet, never, in extremity,

It asked a crumb of me.

The Waxeye (or silvereye) Zosterops lateralis, also known in New Zealand by its Māori name tauhou (stranger), is a small and friendly olive green forest bird with white rings around its eyes. Slightly smaller than a sparrow, they mainly eat insects, fruit and nectar.

Shot with an EV of -2/3 to keep the white from blowing out. In post I balanced the background exposure so it wasn't so dark. There was a breeze so I increased the shutter speed to stop any movement. I found this beautiful feather on the ground but moved it to different locations. This is in the crook of a trailing grapevine in sunlight at the back. I looked online a bit to try to identify the bird. I think it's possibly from a dove or pigeon. Or maybe a duck. : )

A feather on the water, light and airy,

Dancing with the current, akin to a fairy.

Dodging fish with a subtle dance,

None will eat it, not ever a chance!

I found this feather wrapped around a branch with berries in the wind. I liked the composition and background for it. Sometimes, it is the little things in life that make you smile.

I posted a more distant shot of this feather. I thought that a closer shot would bring out the textures better.
