Of silver and feathers
After many days of mild grey weather,
The early morning light
Carried whispers on the breeze
Of a frosty world of silver.
(See how the iced reeds match the bark of the silver birches?)
In the silence of that iced-over dawn
Peace floated down
As light and beautiful as a feather.
For more peace, please visit: Our World.
Lovely work.

Stunning feather photo with innocence attached.

you live amid such beauty

Last image got a huge Grunt out of me with its punctuation. The first evoked a sigh. The middle allowed perspective and horizon to accept the words. You see it then you take the photograph. Divine eyes and whispered words you use with great ease.

So intriguing, Fiona… Seeing the feathers make me realize how much we miss in nature when we overlook the small things… Love your SILVERS and FEATHERS.
Hugs,
Betsy

Every photo here is breathtaking. The center one made my heart pound as I longed to be in that magical scene. (That’s saying something because I am not a fan of snow in real life!)
November 12, 2012 at 19:30
I love the simplicity of these shots!
November 12, 2012 at 19:33

You provide such wonderful cold-weather scenes, and we can look at them when we’re nice and warm inside!
November 12, 2012 at 21:05
Simply wonderful.
November 12, 2012 at 21:23
Br-r-r but beautiful! Feathers from the Canada Geese, I presume.
November 12, 2012 at 22:42
Your feathers and frost make quiet, thought-provoking shots. You’ve captured the stillness so well Fi.
November 12, 2012 at 22:53
Lovely! For those readers who have the opportunity to read this before rushing off to work, it will be one of those “Just breathe” moments.
November 12, 2012 at 22:55
Lady Fi, you capture Poetry w/ your camera.
Magical. Xxxxx

I love that first photo of the feather on the ice!!! I tend to get right in close, to get all the details, but you have captured the surroundings, and the results are magnificent!! (I have just posted feather, too)
November 13, 2012 at 02:44
Thank you. That first feather is on the water. And unfortunatley, all the ice has melted.

I hope 4 more years of a reasonable man in charge will help some

The picture of the birches is so beautiful. I’d like a magic carpet to let me experience your early winter for just a day or two. The pictures are almost enough to make me forget that I don’t do cold well.)

Perfect Fall pictures, especially the second one- peaceful, serene!

Gorgeous … but looks so so cold.
November 15, 2012 at 02:49
Lovely photos…especially the second one.
November 16, 2012 at 13:49
Love all these images here (even the ones in the post above), but the birch photo is simply stunning, there is something very pristine and gentle, almost ethereal about it… One expect an elf to appear.;) Your photography is alluring at all times, always a pleasure to visit you, sorry it has been so sporadic recently.;)
Have a great week.;)
