feather patterns
One of my favorite events of the summer is the Minnesota State Fair. And one of my favorite things to do at the fair is to go through the poultry barn. I love birds, as do my boys, and we go up and down every row, looking at each and every chicken, duck, goose, dove, turkey and pigeon (I’m sure I’m forgetting a species).
I am always amazed at the variety of chickens and how varied their patterning and colorings are. It’s hard to pick a favorite. I loved the soft grey feathers with the darker grey outlines (upper right image) but the little one with the black outlined feathers stole my heart with one look.

That’s it, we just have to go back. We rode rides when we went to the fair, and we didn’t get into even one barn.

Yay! State Fair!
Beautiful pics as always, Martha!

I can see why your heart was stolen. Adorable.
