textures

I found this beautiful feather whilst walking and when I came to this tree with such rugged bark I stuck the feather in and presto! there was my pic for the day :)

Beautiful feather and I hope it is not the result of dog or cat's act.

Creative and beautiful combination.

@joemuli @yaorenliu @deu49097

thankyou for your great compliments. There are many parrots in the trees at the moment because of all the blossom on the gum trees so you can often find some dropped feathers

[Robyn]

Beautiful textures and contrasts

[Kane Arlow]

Well spotted, great textures between the bark and the feather.

[Nancy]

Neat texture study. Do you have any idea what kind of birds once owned that feather.

[Chris K]

@karlow75 thanks very much Kane

@nanm thankyou Nancy. After checking on a couple of birds I believe it is the tail feather of a male Blue Winged Kookaburra!
