I seen the most beautiful milkweed pod and took a picture. Went home, downloaded it, and it was a feather. Time to change my glasses.
Thanks for all the kind words on yesterdays bird shot.
@wac Wendy I don't. My nephew was with me and asked me if I I wanted it. I said no, thinking it was a milkweed. I usually collect feathers and study them for painting. So, since this was taken at the zoo, but outdoors, I'm not sure.
@pacole I can't imagine how I did. I really thought it was a milkweed. I was thrilled when I got home and seen what it was. But what a different pattern. I've never seen a feather like this.
Interesting ... despite what you say about your glasses, the focus of the picture is very good ... two of us, what we have to change their glasses ... hahahahaha!
Isn't it early for fuzzy milkweed? Your confusion after first uploading this to your computer would've been awesome to behold. Still a great photo. Most of my misspellings are because 1. I can't type and 2. if I can't type w/o looking, why do I think I can type w/o my glasses. :-) I can relate.
P.S. I can relate to the vision thing, unhappily... ;-(
