LIGHT LIKE A FEATHER

I usually come home after work at about 5:30 PM. We have dinner and since it is still light outside, our Labradoodle Max takes us for a walk in Golden Gate Park. We have a few routes there. One of them is around Blue Heron Lake, which used to be called Stow Lake. Besides other walkers and dogs, we encounter many birds there, such as geese, ducks, robins, blue birds, seagulls and crows.

 

I searched online to learn more about the birds that spend time there and was amazed at the great amount. Max loves to pull the leash to try to catch the birds, and probably feels disappointed when they fly away. During a recent walk, I noticed a feather on the ground with an unusual design. And there was another one and one more.

I did not know from which birds they came, but each of them was unique and beautiful. The question crossed my mind – why has nature or God (depending on your belief) created this kind of beauty? Who can see it and who can benefit? Obviously, I did not find an answer; however, when I got home, I looked up quotes about feathers. There were quite a few of them. I especially like this one: “Birds of a feather flock together”. How true it is!

Please enjoy the natural beauty in these feathers.

Enjoy and share!
