Natural Contrasts

I spotted the lone feather in the grass on the cliff tops at Trefor in North Wales, before descending to the beach where I stood for a while listening and watching the waves of the incoming tide.

The feather is so delicate and I love the way each wispy frond is serrated so that they zip together to complete the structure.

I have chosen to share the image of the pebbles as a contrast to the softness of the feather. Not only is there a contrast in the textures but also the colours with the softness of the feather and the rough and hardness of the pebbles

Light As A...

Feather

Now that the Christmas festivities are over I am back to posting here.

I spotted this feather floating on the gently rippling surface of Marie Louise lake in Sleeping Giant Provincial Park. I love the way it rests on the surface held up by the surface tension and it could blow away so easily without leaving a trace.
