Pictures for Pam, Day 83: Lovely Feather
(+2 insets!)
What a pretty day it’s been. This afternoon was so warm that it seems more like spring than winter! It started off freezing cold with a pretty cloud-filled sunrise and fog cloaking the valley. It was so cold that the frogs were huddling silently down at the pond, their romantic crooning a memory until it warmed up again. The forecast calls for snow on Monday but we’ll see about that. By 9am the sun was shining brightly and as the hours rolled by it melted the fog and the whole area basked in unexpected warmth. The frogs came out to sing in droves, their numbers increasing each day. Don’t ask me to find them as they are masters at camouflage, but I loved hearing them as I brought the garbage and recycling down to the road just a while ago.
Today’s picture features a pretty find when Steve and I were down in San Anselmo over New Years. On our first hike of two, I noticed a flashing of white as we passed by and discovered a down feather adhered to some grass. I have no clue what kind of bird it might have been but it made a pretty picture for me to share with you!
I am also sharing another find along the way, some wild grass that stood out in the sunshine with another stem behind it and the background falling away in artistic bokeh. I’m also including an afternoon panorama of our lovely view of the Table Rocks that I took the other day!
Pam, I did a search on your stream for “feather” and found one that you had posted, a lovely entry for the Poetica group entitled Silence. What a thought-provoking poem! I sat and read it, thinking about each line. Much to contemplate. Thank you so much for bringing it to my attention, and I must also say that your beautiful peacock feather and presentation were perfect. Wikipedia provided some additional insights to this lovely and deeply reaching poem which you might be interested in if you don’t already know of it! I hope your days are treating you a little better lately! Thinking of you and sending a big *HUGGGGG*!

THANKYOU JANET.
I AM WELL FAMILIAR WITH "DESIDERATA" AND ITS STORY AND FREQUENT MIS-ATRIBUTION
I WAS A CALLIGRAPHER BEFORE MY RIGHT RADIAL NERVE WAS DAMAGED... I MUST HAVE WRITTEN AND ILLUMINATED IT 50 TIMES AT LEAST
Thank you for your visits, I've now fixed the access to my article. :-)
The landscape image in the PiP is breathtakingly beautiful. I love the light and the silhouetted trees. In the other PiP, it is the enchanting bokeh which catches my eye............just magical.
Thank you for all your recent comments on my posts.............always a joy! Thanks also for the link to some of your water drops on CD images. I may have to steal some of your ideas.
