Early.
Morning Dew.
Translucent. Balanced.
Twelve indigenous duck feathers.
Gathered by the banks of the Roseville Lake. ~Ally.
The video is very slow and may even seem slightly repetitious. However every feather is unique and has its own beauty.
Visually speaking this video is rather s l o w but I do love the magical merging of the feathers ~ Shades of Susan Seddon Boulet.
And if you turn the volume right up the bird calls create the most beautiful spacial echos, almost eerie. ~Ally. Morning Star: 12 Feathers.

Dawn's
Morning star.
Moist green grass.
Open and shady avenue:
Carpeted with fine pine needles.
Her heart: A reservoir. Enchanted by the dew.
As light as a feather. At peace. Overflowing with gratitude.
~Ally.
Just a Cockatoo or Kookaburra Feather?
Or a lovely reminder to tread on the earth more gently, to listen more attentively to the sound of the wind and feel her breeze against my skin, to see all the magical colours that nature adorns herself with and to remember to breathe it all in, much more deeply. ~Ally.
The significance of the feathers.
The significance of the feathers and the process of making this simple video was fully described in my Steemit article: Morning Star: 12 Feathers.
While I was working with the images and this piece of writing, the feathers came to represent the parallels between my personal quest for freedom and the story of Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
