"Fancy Feathers” began as an observation trip to the zoo where I spent several hours watching the Greater Flamingos interact with each other and wade in the water primping and preening their feathers. I realized the incredible pallet of colors that their wings, when expanded, exposed to the eye. I wanted a unique pose and point of view of the magnificent bird and waited patiently for the right lighting and for the one bird that would be willing to offer me the view I had already visualized in my mind, and then, there it was! Perfectly opened and hard at work arranging its feathers.
