About this photo: “I took this photograph at the World Bird Sanctuary in Saint Louis, MO. I have always loved feathers and have a bit of an infatuation with birds. I have a tattoo of a feather on my wrist. I was surprised by this image when I got home and looked at it. I liked how the bird becomes just pure texture and how sleek and slippery it looks. There is a word I am trying to find, to describe the way the feathers make me feel, but I can’t find it right now. I’m sorry.“

Stunning. It looks absolutely fluid, like a waterfall.

Is the word you’re looking for “symmetry”? The feathers form a pattern, and that pattern makes a smooth symmetric sense of appeal….

Such a beautiful pattern made by the feathers, I want to touch! I had a pet parrot. I loved his feathers. Sadly he died after 4 months from some kind of digestive trouble. I didn’t get another one I was heartbroken. He was so cool. He had a perch in our family room and interacted with us all day. He was very friendly and curious. I have lots of good memories of him.
