Ok so this is interesting... I have no idea why I took this photograph. This is one place along my way to where the old power plant was on my walk. It is in front of a fenced in area that is completely overgrown with bushes and tall trees. I think I discovered the other day, in talking to a person in the area that the land is owned by the town, and completely neglected. It is the one area where snow removal never happens during the winter. Anyhow, I saw this battered feather on the dead leaves. Somehow both of these things go together. The white feather was obvious when I saw it against the dark leaves. I was drawn to photograph it, but I am not sure why. I like the bluish tint to the feather, because I took this under an overcast sky late in the day. Maybe this photograph is about discarded things.
A forlorn feather, indeed!
