Feathers

Will I ever stop marveling at peacock feathers? I rather doubt it!

There were a number of birds up at São Jorge Castle in Lisbon. Many were enjoying showing off. Many — probably all — were also busy making the horrendous noise that peacocks make. You hear them long before you see them! But, oh, once you see them … just astounding! I have some full bird photos, but the feathers … well … you can see what I’m talking about! This is another iPhone shot, but I think it worked just fine.

Well I Have a Bird Too

… and it’s a white-faced ibis.

I don’t know exactly how or why I landed on a grouping of photos from a visit with birds since this is back in my 2015 folder, but I did*. Funny, since we were just up at Stellar Gallery to attend the reception that featured David Hoffman and Dan’s images of birds. Believe me, their work is amazing and I don’t pretend to be a photographer of birds. I still like this guy, though. So I’m sharing it. Because I can.

*And I just remembered how I landed in 2015: I was actually going to a flower image that needed some more work done. So back I go to the folder …
