When Kids Explore: The Black Feather


Little L with his featherLittle L was so delighted to find a feather during our last hike about the property. Never mind we find them all the time, each new discovery still holds a bit of magic.

Here’s a little poem I wrote for him:

The Black Feather
Today I went out to explore
I found a feather on the forest floor
I had the urge to search for more
Creation has unlocked a door. 

Enjoy your day exploring and investigating your world! We’re off for another hike…

    Wonderful poem. When are you going to start publishing poetry?

    Lovely! What a great photo! Capturing the wonder of childhood and creation in images and words.

    Love the feather and the poem! And I’m always up for a hike!

    That is great! Nature is always fascinating and never gets old. I still love to find a feather and watch the individual strands line up perfectly when I smooth it out and then mess it all up again! ( :
    I guess I am still a kid at heart eh?

    That was a sweet poem. I love how children see the wonder in things.

    First of all - cool picture! It’s a true stock photo!!

    Second- We found our dream home out near you on 5 acres - but the catch is simply that we have to sell ours…be praying!!! 20 plus realtors march through our home tomorrow morning on their weekly tour. What a dream if it worked out, but if not, I will remain content in my city life.

    Blessings friend!

    Renae, thank you. I was playing with the new camera on this day.

    Tipper, the hike was so fun! No new feathers, but a few bones were found.

    Mandi, you are so right, it “never gets old.” And feathers are truly amazing, one of God’s fascinating creations.

    halfmoon girl, I would personally have passed this feather up. Nothing special looking about it to me. But once Little L picked it up and thought it was great, it became great.

    Julie, thanks, hope to hear what happens.

    e-Mom, thank you, that means a lot coming from a much better photographer than myself.
