beauty in the details

My husband’s editor is in town from NYC and staying with us. So, I have been washing sheets, and cleaning bathrooms today while my husband was having lunch with him. Yes, I know how sexist that sounds. But the truth is my husband and I have pretty good household equality, and he would do the same for me if my editor were in town. Anyway, as a result of having company today, I resorted to this sandhill crane feather from the backyard. The cranes are not yet molting (that happens in August). This was just a random lost feather, perhaps dropped during their very odd and awkward mating antics. I like how the curled edges looked like crashing waves. I also like how nature repeats itself.
