Patrick Rouzes August 22, 2010

When I first posted this I told about how I happened to get this photo. I was walking a trail at dusk & saw this feather caught amongst a bunch of dark pine trees & it seemed to glow in the evening light. I stopped to look at it but thought it was too dark to take some shots of it. I was about to continue on my way, but then decided to take just one shot for an experiment. It looked really beautiful on the screen so I just started shooting & got caught up in the moment & took about 100 shots .It seemed like a mogical moment for me like I was in a world of my own-hence, the title. #8854484
