About eleven years ago one of my students, Ingrid K., gave me a pheasant "pelt." I don't know if "pelt" is the correct term, but it was part of a bird's skin with all the feathers intact. My plan yesterday was to photograph Indian corn, but when I saw the pheasant, I changed my mind. Aren't the colors lovely?
May your fall be filled with colors like these. ©Carol Leigh
