Andrea had just made turkey chowder, a family favorite using a Greenberg smoked bird, and I was cleaning the kitchen when I noticed this interesting geometric pattern formed by the celery stalk she had discarded. I experimented with various backgrounds, then brought this into editing software and experimented first with color and then black-and-white versions, which I wound up taking to finish.

I snapped this beside a lake I walk around several mornings a week. Ducks and cranes use the lake, and there are iron ore rocks on the dam. This feather had drifted into a natural indentation in the rock. I liked the contrast of this feather on a rock.
