The Feather

“It's not enough to have the feathers.

You must dare to fly!” 

― Cass van Krah

On my walk today I happened to glance down and saw this feather in the grass.  I actually was surprised that I noticed it.  But it was in the perfect place with the sun backlighting it.  So I took a close-up photograph of the feather.  I found it on the grass that is next to the large parking lot at the beach where all the seagulls gather and stand around on the ground.  So I guess it blew into the grass from the seagull gathering.  Finding this single feather got me to thinking about quotes about feathers, and I found this one, at the head of this text.  I like the quote, for obvious reasons.
