Fun with Feathers…


There have been a lot of crows hanging around in our yard lately.  Murders of them.  But every time I get my camera out, they laugh at me in the way they do and fly away.  But they have left a few feathers around and I grabbed one for last Sunday’s Scavenger Hunt because I thought the prompt was “light” and what is lighter than a feather??  Well, the prompt was actually “eight” so I have a bunch of feather pictures (more than eight actually) that I didn’t ultimately need.  But I liked them so I decided to mess with them and this is what I came up with.



This is my new "Cover photo" on Facebook.  I think it's apropos considering the things people say on Facebook.

I especially like how you processed the last two. I've noticed more crow around than usual - year of the crow?

I'm ok with that. I love crows.

Nice work, Barbara! Very art-like! Feathers are cool. If I used a cover photo I felt was appropriate for FB, I'd probably get banned. FB drives me crazy. :-)

I hear you about FB, Brian. But I do like that it keeps me in touch with family and friends I don't get to see often. That's a good thing. I just don't want to know what they are eating for breakfast or what their political views are.

Hello Barbara,

I find this really beautiful pictures. When I see those feathers I think back to the Indians and their headdresses. Your first picture I really super and your second spell with that too. I do not have facebook but now I can see your ID with this spring.

Warmest regards, Helma
