Feathered ~~ April (and one week of May)

Feathered 52 April Images, with one week of May sneaking in!

We have completed three months and one week of our project titled Feathered.  I feel like each week we stretch our wings and our creativity and push the boundaries of this concept.  As we weave actual feathers into our images, we feel the weight and lightness that comes along with all that a feather is, and all that a feather holds in our hearts, minds, realities, imaginations and hands.  Please enjoy the images in their full size, arranged by week, Lili Love’s images on top, Phyllis Meredith’s below…  Thank you!

~~Feathered, Week Ten~~

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

~~Feathered, Week Eleven~~
“That’s the beauty of it. Have you seen the contraptions these magicians build to accomplish the most mundane feats? They are a bunch of fish covered in feathers trying to convince the public they can fly, I am simply a bird in their midst.” 
― Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus

~~Feathered, Week Twelve~~
“The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart.” 
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

~~Feathered, Week Thriteen~~

A bird does not sing because he has an answer.
He sings because he has a song.

“I have been mortal, and some part of me is mortal yet. I am full of tears and hunger and the fear of death, although I cannot weep, and I want nothing, and I cannot die. I am not like the others now, for no unicorn was ever born who could regret, but I do. I regret.” 
― Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn

Thank you all for following along with our fine feathered journey.
