Caught

Still waiting for a photograph, I found one right outside my window - a tiny feather caught amongst the climbing rose. It was a challenge to get good focus on its fragile structure.

Three good things:
1.Got to look at the hopefulness regarding the cat who still doesn’t eat - will drink cat milk.
2. Cricket is on in NZ and I get bored…. good to read my new book.
3. Grey day with no wind so got into the spraying and finished the whole garden. My idea is to get the garden and house organised and off we can go in the caravan once more!

@gijsje Yes, Bep - it is nice and..... on doing this I found a small strip of white at the top which was the window sill so I was able to fix this with cropping in picmonkey! Thanks

A delicate little photographic gift. I hope the birdie who lost it isn't missing it too much. Good news about the cat!

Love the delicacy of the feathery main subject.

Lovely!

Cleverly captured. I thinks that something so delicate would be beyond my skills to capture. Well done. Fav

Very pretty Maggiemae. Impressive focus on that little delicate feather.

[Gillian]

Sometimes the most beautiful things are right in front of your eyes - if only we look! Nice capture.

LOVELY!!! Tagging onto to what Gillian said, it took trying out the 365 Project to open my eyes, that's for sure! Beforehand, I took pictures but I now know that my eyes were not really open. Committing to taking a photo every day for a year opened my peepers up and I saw things that I never would've noticed otherwise. That's why 365 is so great! I only did it for one year but it was a great accomplishment for me and when the conversation about photography comes up, I always talk about 365 and highly recommend it to everyone. Don't know why I'm rambling about this but obviously, it's still meaningful to me! haha! Thanks for listening, Maggie! :-))))

@thendrix58 My ears are deaf but my eyes read what you say! That's what appeals to me - looking for the good things but now and then,,,,,, the ugly!
