I have also discovered that my magnolia walls make nice grey black drop.....

 

[BillE]

Look as if they are talking to each other good stuff.

You're not late, Steve and have produced a valid subject.

And lovely colours to boot!

I did wonder if someone was going to show us some of these fine specimens!!

 

[borofan]

My granddaughter offered me some of these to photograph but I couldn't come up with a decent arrangement. I think I was trying to be too clever

I like that, Paul. At first it looked like the roof of a log cabin or something. Great detail there.

Well done, Elaine! I nearly popped a little bird up too - I'm glad someone has!

[Edit] Oops - how embarrassing!! LOL - I've just checked upwards and saw that Mark did too!!

The structure of a feather is quite amazing when you got in close

 

[Demon.Dad]

Well done, Mark! Nice duck!!

What's the feather sat on?

Thanks Edward, sorry it has taken me a couple of days to answere but spent most of the last two days in the Landrover moving patients etc for Welsh Ambulance Service due to tje snow.

I found the feather on the groung so picked it up and put it on a round glass table outside a little cafe alonside the canal basin and it had a dimple effect.

I KNEW I recognised the surface but just couldn't think what it was - thanks for putting me out of my misery!
