feathers

geninne's son daniel taught me a sweet little trick to turn my iphone into a macro lens

:)

i love the details of these tiny  blue feathers

i also love how friends from all over the world are sending feathers to geninne for her collection

reminds me so much of my beloved stone diaries

while on the subject of feathers I wanted to show you a feather shrine I found at the base of one of the oldest trees in this particular forest. It was off the path but the sight of that bright blue feather caught the corner of my eye. I came closer and paused a while, offered a little prayer, took a photograph and continued on my walk. Has anyone else come across something like this?

Beautiful feathers indeed ! And what a precious scene to witness in the wood Nothing like that happened to me, saddly. It must have felt pretty magical & nice.
Hoping the sun is shining in the sky & in your heart today.

I started reading your blog after the stone diaries. Thank you for introducing me to the sharing of stones. I love the thought of all those beautiful stones travelling from all over the world to your home, Margie.

I loved reading about the great feather migration and thought about sending one to Geninne also. I was thinking about having a great gold ingot migration here...

Love that little shrine. Good eye for spotting it.

That feather shrine is very intriguing. (Thanks for the link to your stone diaries.)

I found a little birds nest right in the rose bushes against my garage. It's fun to see the bird fly around and build it's nest! Not sure what kind of bird it is.

I make feather offerings like that filled with prayers. I often stick them in the cracks in the bark. Love that the Macaw feather is there amongst the others, I have a few of those and they are just lovely.

Do you know of Jude Hill's "Magic Feather Project"? You and Geninne might love it.

The Feather shrine looks like childs play! (Or somthing I might have left in the woods as a chld.) :)
Is that a hummers nest? It looks so tiny.

Dear blog friend
Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures and collections. I am a stone collector for about 40 years now and they are everywhere in the house and the garden but... I realized that from some I forgot where I found them :-(
I think about a way to register. And is it very impertinent to ask you to tell me the iPhone-tric for macro? Thanks from Amsterdam Holland.
