Great Blue Heron Up-close and Personal – Feathers
Look, you might as well know, this thing
is going to take endless repair: rubber bands,
crazy glue, tapioca, the square of the hypotenuse.
Nineteenth century novels. Heartstrings, sunrise:
all of these are useful. Also, feathers.

From July 1 through July 30, 2016, my Great Blue Heron photographs once again grace the walls of the lobby and theater in a free one-woman show at the Summer Street Gallery, of The Center for Arts in Natick. TCAN has a lively, dynamic lineup of upcoming performing artists.

A selection of my heron and flower photos is now available at the Five Crows Gallery in Natick, MA. Drop in and see the work of the many wonderfully creative artists who show there when you’re in the area.
Five Crows is on FaceBook. To give the gallery a visit, please click here.

Fantastic details
Many thanks! I’m glad you like this photo. The variety of different feathers the birds have is fascinating. Best, Babsje
Love the lines, designs and colors of your close-up, Babsje. Good luck on your exhibition.
Many thanks, Jane. I’m glad you like this close-up of the Heron feathers. I love the various colors and textures, and am amazed by the strength of the wing feathers that seem so fragile and almost transparently thin. Best, Babsje
Awwh! So vulnerable, yet strong, Babsje 🙂
Thanks, Jo – You’re right, very vulnerable and so strong at the same time. Thanks for your thoughtful comment. Best, Babsje
