Look what lovely little beauties I found at work today!! I spied them on my way across the green patch to go to farmer’s market. There were quite a few little downy feathers littering the edge of the sidewalk. On my way back from getting my produce, I stopped to
pick up several. I was disturbed in my moment of jubilation by a voice “What are you doing?” I look up to see a friend of mine (he used to work in my building, but then got transferred). “picking up bird feathers” I responded in a tone suggesting I didn’t understand why everyone else wasn’t engaged in such an activity. “Why”, he asked. Well, “why not” I’m thinking. What I say is that I like to use them on my stamped art projects and feel better about collecting feathers myself so I know the birds weren’t harmed. He stares at me for quite some time, as if trying to decide if this is a quirk of personality or signs of insanity. After a length, he says “If I see some in my garden, I will bring them for you.” Ahhh, wonderful – he’s not going to call security, and I might get some more feathers for my efforts. Well, I think they were well worth being thought of strangely.
Here’s one more close up of the feathery bits of goodness. Hope bird feather fall across your path today.
