Description
Springtime here in 'OZ' is all about our bird families showing off their young ones and they are everywhere enjoying our birds-bath [for drinking and washing !] I will post a few photos soon with the different varieties of them, that have been visiting us.
Since our beloved cat Monkey died, and we actually never replaced her with another one, but instead the birds have been coming out of the wood-works, literally - year after year. Sooo many different ones, almost unbelievable but giving us so much pleasure and we have to fill up their 'bathtub' every day with more fresh water to bathe and drink, some leave even other evidence behind, - Yeah, that's right ! :)) but do they really care ? obviously not ;)) and I also find the occasional feather ... maybe I'll have enough soon for a pillow, so - here is one for your perusal ...
Cheers Brigitte

Your feather is ablaze with intense color & contrasts boldly with the equally intense background. Very creative work...
I love the brilliant colors. Beautiful work!
It's always a pleasure to see birds approaching the houses, become less fearful ... unfortunately, our neighbors have cats .... Superb colors, excellent capture and pw, Brigitte!
Beautiful artwork!!! Very artistic, as always! Enjoy your spring weather! We were soaked from rain and struggled against a strong wind yesterday, and saw many umbrellas flying high! We only have a few sparrows and pigeons that land on our balcony and, yes, they are messy, but very sympathetic, so we do not mind at all. I hope that you can capture a few of your beautiful visitors with your camera and share with us. Waiting... Hugs!
A really lovely feather result here. Love what you did to it. I am looking forward to see the birds too :)
outstanding image my friend and fantastic capture also !!!
As we say in the States: "Now that's what I'm talkin' about!" I love this image. It almost looks like a scientific study of a feather, in infrared or something like it. Again, you've taken an everyday object and turned it into a wholly transformed thing, filled with energy and vibrance. I second Claude (photosynthesis): It's ablaze with intense color and contrasts, with an equally intense background...The purples and reds, against those blues in the background, are the best. "The bee's knees," as they said in the 1920's. (That stands for the "B's and E's"---ie, the Beginnings and Ends. The best, in other words.) What a vibrant image---and the curved lines on the left are like a rush of energies pouring into the image. Whoosh, I love this!
Beautiful shot!
You need not post pictures of the other evidence behind, as far as making a pillow one word Bird Flu, well that's two words but pictures would be nice.
Superb capture and post work. God bless.
Lovely Brigitte. I too have never replaced my animals when they died. They were like family to me, but I need a break if that makes sense.
Boldly going where no feather has gone before, Captain James T Feather is about to be absorbed by the insidious purple hole...how painful...EEECK ! LOL
Super postworkings of your original cool capture !
~Cheers~
The legend of the Phoenix is found all over the world. It is a bird identified with the sun and resurrection. Every 500 years it burns to ashes and is reborn from those ashes. http://monsters.monstrous.com/story_phoenix.htm It looks like you have one visiting you. Some superb post work. Very cool.
Thank you very much Mark, for the link and what a good read, I've never known the origin of this fable from Greek Mythology.
amazing work
What a beautiful photo, it really does look like it is burning up !
Fantastic post work, the background really makes this feather stand out.
Lucky you---- we are in Winter Mode here---- however it has been quite mild for this time of year.
P.S.
Sorry for your loss.
It is always difficult to get another pet when one dies.
Gone but not forgotten, may your beloved cat Monkey RIP.
Love the colours BB and as you can see I am still around in the background!!
Thank you so much Jeff, well appreciated - a true friend ;))
Your feather have sunlight in it in the way you shows us its beauty, BB-chen. So clear the construction, and coming up from your hot background it looks like it's coming to us right away. Please sent us some more of this, so we can become something to protect us here in the cold. And, it would be nice to see some of your feathered friend!!!
did a wonderful job
seems alien
Splendid! Full of energy!
A wonderful vibrant feather you have here Brigitte I'm trying to visualize the bird it came from.
Thank you for your welcome back, much appreciated. Cheers.
