I remembered seeing another feather earlier this morning. It lay upon the floor and I thought how lovely nestled at the foot of the bed. After photographing the little feather in the glass, I collected the larger feather upon the floor. And it too was a joy to photograph.

I was racing around and suddenly grew thirsty. I picked up a glass by the bed and just happened to look down before I swallowed the little feather that had slipped out of its pillow to drift into my glass. And so, did I then empty the glass and relieve my thirst? Nope. I raced around to different light sources to see how best to illuminate this unexpected treat.

Between fish in the previous post, the rain today and reading a book set in coastal South Carolina, well, I guess there’s plenty of reason why Wade in the Water came to mind as I worked with this image. If you’ve never heard the song, this is a pretty good link. Have a good evening, folks.

Earlier this year, the nonprofit WalkBoston produced a wonderful walking map of the historic city of Revere. If you’re ever in the neighborhood you can access the map online via this link or contact the organization for lovely paper maps. As with many a seaside town, Revere in summer is quite different than Revere in winter. In either season, my favorite walk is along the beach. This is what I saw this weekend before the chill drove me home.

A steady rain falls this day and as the light shifts and the wind blows, beautiful patterns are created upon the kitchen windows. In the foreground are the raindrops and in the distance are the branches of the towering oak tree, its leaves now dark russet and falling to the ground.
