Feather for the 4th by pasadenarose

Feather for the 4th

I spent most of the day at a friend's house. Watched Zero Dark Thirty, about the killing of Osama bin Laden.
THEN she tried to get me to watch Paint Your Wagon. We got part way through it and then I threw in the towel. LOL Just a little too hokey for me.
I wanted to get home to my kitty anyway, knowing she'd be stressed by the fireworks. I had gotten a mild sedative from the vet ahead of time, but decided it wasn't really needed. I kept trying to reassure her as she skittered through the house. She ultimately landed in my closet, which is the only 'room' with no outside walls, so she had the most insulation from the sound there.
I peeked out the window on occasion to watch the fireworks over the Rose Bowl. And that was my July 4th celebratory festivities.

I didn't think I'd have much photo opportunity at her house, so I snapped this before I ran out the door. I have no idea what kind of bird this is from, but I picked it up on a hike a couple of years ago.
SOOC except for the frame.
What an interesting feather! Why didn't you take a shot or two of the fireworks at the Bowl?

BTW I like the shot and how you composed it. Nice detail captured.

With my dinky camera? LOL
It would have looked like distant colored blobs in the sky. ;-)

Beautiful feather and shadow! Very nice processing! Hope your kitty has recovered from the fireworks! Wow! I just noticed you are 81% complete with 356 photos! Yay!

Gorgeous feather. I wonder who it belongs to.
