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


Just too beautiful for words π

The most lovely story today…and for many days, Brian! I almost blushed…but you kept it decent…and modest. You are truly a master of stories, and this one was so perfect for the challenge – that second photo with the perfect line to it had me laughing for minutes! Beautiful, beautiful feathers.
