Eye of the Feather

Posted by
Barbara (Florida, United States) on 21 February 2009 in Art & Design.

During a trip north my sister gave me a large amount of feathers from her peacocks. I have them in a vase as a bouqet. Amazing how feathers have so much vibrant color.

@DenisSm: Thank you, Denis. If I understood you correctly, I will say that my sister can keep the peacock, I will take the feathers.
The birds are noisy and will eat up your garden. But they are beautiful.
