298/365: "Photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place. I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and every thing to do with the way you see them.” ~ Elliot Erwitt

2 more pictures and one note above! :)

Since the weather has been so nice, I've been going for walks along our ridge line almost every day with Moosie and Zoe. I don't always bring my camera but I did today, and had such a nice time puttering along and looking for subjects to present themselves.

We were walking along and I noticed something bright near the ground--this amazing feather! The light was hitting it just right and before the breeze blew it away, I managed to get a set of pictures. When it fell over, I picked it up and took another set of images (and carried it home to add to our wild bird feather collection!).

Of the two pictures, I think this image is more magical, and it's also almost straight out of the camera--the only thing I did was a slight crop of about 15%. I love the natural sepia tones here too--I didn't alter this color at all! :)
