Marrakech: and the elusive Feather Hunters

The Feather Hunters ~a stealthy breed of tiny Peacock Pavilion pacifists ~ leave no tracks.    Birds are not harmed in their pursuit.  But make no mistake...the Feather Hunters are a highly skilled sub-species, their senses fine tuned to perfection.  Known to be volatile when hungry or tired, it’s best to give into demands if accidentally confronted with one.   Some say they even have night vision. (I am unable to confirm or deny these reports.)

My wits about me, I captured a few precious photos of an alleged leader of the Feather Hunters.  With a sly look in her eye, she showed me her bounty.  But then quick as a flash………she was gone………

so cute, I'm sure I knew some feather hunters very well when I was little!

[halimah]

so brave of you to confront one of these creatures and capture it on film! i've heard they appear innocent but have a darker side...of course this may apply to just the Vermont variety.

I've heard of this small, deceptively powerful breed. They could change the world (they already have!) with their cleverness and wisdom.

I've heard that Feather Hunters are protected by the universe, especially from certain beasts that rear their ugly heads from time to time. Don't worry. You will keep her safe.

great post!

Oh there are Feather Hunters among us too. You are so lucky to have your wits about you at just the right moment. To be sure she is the leader...she wears the leader's shoes.

I do believe she is gathering those feathers to add to her fairy wings!

[Paris Parfait]

Ah, those feather hunters are known for their stealth! Lovely photos.

oh God - she is beautiful - just like her mother. And I don't even have to see her eyes to know that.

Featherhunters in red dresses and purple shoes are both exotic and rare.

And beloved.

I've always heard that they are quite invisible to those who don't believe in magic.....

[Renate]

how lovely your feather hunter is. I have a feather hunter too, right here in Texas. She loves pink and wears fairy wings. I wished I could go back to hunting feathers.........

[Laura]

What gorgeous colors! And your daughter looks as beautiful as her mother.

What a precious collection she has gathered. And I like her outfit, too. Very feather hunter-like. Glad you were able to capture these pics for us.

You're making me want children more and more each day.
I don't know how that's going to happen here in Seoul, Korea, but I know that anything is possible.
Thank you.

Feathers are magical aren't they and children recognise that. So light, so strong, the ziploc quality of the each individual "hair" and better than all of that - the proud possessor can fly.

Your daughter is a gorgeous girl :-)

She looks right out of a legend.
