Feathers: A mini obsession

Does this ever happen to you?  You take a bunch of pictures and, when you look back through them, you realize you've taken pictures of the same subject over and over and over again.

That happened to me last week: I took a ton of pictures of feathers.  Wherever I looked it seemed there were feathers that grabbed my attention.  No, there wasn't a pile of feathers where something had met its demise.  Instead, these were feathers I saw -- almost daily -- on my walk/hikes.  Different species. Different locations.  I wonder why these captured my eye.  What, perhaps, is my subconscious saying to me?

Even took pictures of a bush with flowers that look feathery.  HA!
