afterfeather

i spent an inordinate amount of time photographing this feather and a blue and a red. fifty-some shots later and i gave up because i really didn't know why i was photographing the feathers. is there a feather competition somehow so that all my efforts aren't for naught? :-P

went to the toronto botanical gardens to renew my membership yet again and i got there so late the office was already closed and i was told to renew online. no, i don't want to renew online because if i did, then i wouldn't have any motivation to visit the gardens. so i guess i will just need to go back there, n'est-ce pas?

-o0o-

thanks, kind folks, for your comments and generous favs. you're the coolest!

and...

might i convince you to put in an entry or two for the mundane abstract challenge, the object featured being paper cups. here's the low down on the challenge: http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/30233/new-abstract-mundane-challenge-paper-cups

It's got great detail and of course yellow is always an appealing color- but I'd be tempted to turn it into some annfoolery if it was my shot.

That was so last month;)!

I like the details of this feather.

Made me smile, so glad I'm not alone in doing 50+ in one go. Yours is well worth it though.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond wanted to make sure got her message! LOL. But I agree with her. It has terrific detail and composition AND is a fascinating subject as this feather looks more like fashion than function.

Lovely details. I'm sure that another visit to the gardens will be most enjoyable
