Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #229: Perfect Patterns

“Hi, there I’m looking for someone to help me with a photo challenge. Do you think you would like to be my female model? The photo challenge is called Perfect Patterns. I think your feathers are just perfect and you are very pretty. “

“OK. I’ll take part but I am rather skeptical that you’ll do a good job.”

It’s not often we get a glimpse of blue feathers underneath those wonderful varied green scalloped wing feathers

The green and blue meld as they cascade down towards her tail

I love the almost turquoise

Great patterns on the legs and feet. Also showing a hint of orangish-red feathers

The breast and neck feathers of the females are not a bright as the males

The colours intermingle well as the neck feathers blend into a pattern with the breast feathers.

All the coloured patterns with wing pattern diagonals

“Well you didn’t do too bad a job. One more close up and then I’m off to find my boyfriend.”

“Shhh. Don’t let her know where I am.”

“I’ve been out with the boys.”

“She’ll never think of looking for me here.”

and they lived happily ever after

Hammad’s Weekend Sky #82

This mornings sky is leaden following a wet few days. These photos are earlier in the morning than in the past few posts

Not as grey looking this way

I stood there waiting for some birds to fly across the view. Three times they did and I wasn’t ready. About ten minutes after the first photo, the sky looked like it was going to colour.

This was as colourful as it got.
