Fluffy Feather Macro Monday

I love to spend time outside.

Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. :) MM started on Sept 29, 2008 - THANX to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!

tiny feather

There are many interlocking barbs on a single feather.  Each one important!

Smaller than the end of my pinky.

pheasant feathers

Cancer clips your wings, but thankfully feathers grow back.  It may take a while, but eventually you'll soar  again.

My husband went pheasant hunting with his company this week - guess the guys did really well, he brought home 12 birds, a bunch of tail feathers and several pair of wings.

Macro Monday Skittles Feather

When I babysat my daughter's parakeet I had a mess involved, but I didn't mind, it gave me opportunity to play with the camera.

I never did get the exact view I was hoping for but I was stubborn and wouldn't use my tripod.

Still, I thought some of them were fun.

See, messy bird! My family's just glad I didn't leave it there for a year before snapping, like I did with the cupcake, lol.

This feather came from our little friend who came in, lol.

Still, I would babysit again. :)

Macro Monday ~ The Feather

A feather in the grass while the rain was gently falling offered itself for examination.

I found it amazing how the droplets sat upon the feather!

And I wondered what was in the water?

A small pocket (flaw?) along the edge of the feather clung to a drip. The things I see in the rain drops, are they from the rain itself, or something that was on the feather?

Check out how round some of those droplets are! I guess a feather does not absorb anything, and I'm thinking whatever coats feathers should coat our cars and rain gear.
