Apart from the precious flowers on one of my witch hazels, which I am not going to be snipping, there is absolutely nothing I could find to pick for today's vase that we haven't seen a lot recently. So I am using feathers I have collected over the past weeks. Herring gull, mallard and swan. Crisp black and white seagull, gentle brown freckled female mallard, and ethereal snow-white swan.
The donor!
What a lovely idea - and those swan feathers are absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for thinking out of the box
ReplyDeleteI do love feathers! There's quite a selection of birds on the neighbouring 9 hole golf course. Swans, heron, curlew, teal, mallards and loads of seagulls.
DeleteThinking outside the box today. Good idea, it's slim pickings just now. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about thinking outside the box! More a case of desperation to find something new for today! Always on the lookout for ideas during the course of every week!
DeleteThat's fabulous, Amanda! In contrast, the birds in my garden are small and apparently stingy with their feathers. The swan feather alone is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteI bet your birds are colourful though!
DeleteI too love feathers...collecting them on walks. Lovely sharp pictures and great light.
ReplyDeleteI love holding a feather as high as I can and letting a good stiff breeze take it, to fly just one more time! A
DeleteA beautiful collection of feathers - they look especially beautiful with that lovely light you've captures so well. Can almost feel the softness from here!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jennifer! Welcome to the running wave! Amanda
