Just do it

Trust that little voice in your head that says
"Wouldn't it be interesting if..."
And then do it.

I think, unlike the angelic undertones of this picture, that the little voice in my head is quite devilish on occasion. Perhaps I shouldn't listen to it but I always seem to lol

Great close-up! Not until I worked my eyes from the right to the left did I realize what I was looking at.

The little voice in my head sometimes is a little fool :-) Great composition and superb macro!

This is a very artistic photo, Ina. The different shades of greyish blue in the feather and sky harmonize well with each other.

Great wisdom! I thought about half a year about buying a new camera and then, one day, I did it! BTW Your picture is mar-vel-lous! It has all kinds of symbols in it and brings exclusively good feelings and thoughts, even thoughts about the end otherwise so depressing, become thoughts of consolation and encouragement.

Ina this is magnificent. Excellent capture of fine detail. I recall you saying you like feathers too and how they each have a special meaning. My apologies for not stopping by as much. I hope to catch up soon. As for your title "Just Do It" I did... all last year! Just taking a break. Middle age is so much fun.
