Blue Jay Way

West Virginia

Polaroid CU-5. Tominon 75mm lens. Fujifilm FP 3000B.

I find these feathers in the yard all the time. There are still apples on the trees and ground and the blue jays and crows love them.

Element is Space.

Other elements can be seen here.

Pretty subject, but illegal to keep. ;-) I have some too! Don't tell anyone.

I recognized those Jay feathers right away. I have some in a jar on my kitchen counter. I have a family of jays that live in my yard.

Superb macro detail and lighting on these feathers and a very pleasant reminder of that great Beatles song. V

I see what it is - blue jay feathers. Lucky birds to still have apples to eat
