I took this photo of the Great Gray Owl on Monday, 1-21-08.

I walked within 8 feet of him to take this picture. I needed to get close because I didn't have the telephoto lens with me.

I love this shot. You've inspired me to post an image of an owl that I took at the zoo a few weeks ago. The eyes always get me!

Thanks, also, for pointing out my little link-related boo-boo. I've posted a hasty update on last week's entry to redirect visitors to this week's post. Much appreciated!

Unbelievable, Pamela! THAT has got to be one of your all-time most amazing shots! (Rivaling the hummingbirds...).

GREAT job :)!

He is gorgeous. And I am jealous you got so close to him. We have a lot of fake owl statues around town to scare off the birds--I would love to see a real one.

I just love owls. They are so different from other birds. They are so eery, but beautiful.

I can't believe you got that close! I am such a wuss I think I'd run before I got the shot!

Is your title from Alice In Wonderland? It reminds me of the Caterpillar. :)

All I can say is WOW. A shot like that takes patience (or luck). Wonderful shot. Ok, so I ended up saying more than WOW. :)

I invite you to see my WW post for this week.

That is fantastic! At first I thought he was an ornamental owl - it kind of looks like he has a stick up his, uh, you know.

Great shot!

Very nice, Pamela! I photographed some ducks and a pair of geese today. I just grabbed my little Kodak. I should keep the Rebel close by and grab it, next time. Love that camera. I need a telephoto lens.

Ice Can Look Nice

Image
When there is an inversion and the fog rolls into a shivery valley it is both dangerous and breathtaking. Walking on the gravelly path seems stable, but even the small twigs that stick up around the edges grab onto the moisture and create little artistic ice crystals. a male house finch adds a spot of color! After a few days of this wintery chill,  a warm Chinook wind blew in.  It was probably pushed ahead of what the weatherman called an "atmospheric river" which drenched the west siders way beyond seasonal norms. It is forecast that  Christmas will be warm and no white stuff falling.  At least not here. **** May there be moments of peace and hope in your hearts as you celebrate this holiday. Hug each other.  Feed the birds ****

Fun Monday - Childhood Memories

Image
Our Fun Monday Host this week is Molly, Return of the White Robin . She requested that we share a fond memory of childhood and some pictures. There are very few pictures of my childhood. There are, however, many memories. Little snippets of sounds and smells raced through my mind today as I tried to find a trail to follow. I jotted down many that I hoped would provide me with an idea for today's assignment. Then, I realized that these little bits and pieces are part of the jig saw puzzle of me -- of who I am. You don't have to put them together, but I think you'll see the picture. Childhood Memories The chorus of frogs from the pond in the lower pasture that lulled us to sleep on warm summer nights. Catching polliwogs in the creek that disappeared several pastures over into a foliage camouflaged ravine. The distinct sweet smell of new born kittens inside a barrel in the fruit house The hunt for the elusive Tiger Lily in the open fields, and the pungent s...

Fun Monday

Quirky Lisa (Lisa's Chaos) is today's Hostess with the mostess quirks. She used the following instructions to enlighten us about today's topic: A quirk is defined as a peculiarity of action, behavior, or personality; mannerism. We are all unique individuals, having quirks that help make us who we are. I would like to know what your quirks are. Confess to one, confess to ten, you decide. Just come back Monday ready to spill the beans, the rest of the world may look at you like you are from Mars, but you‘re among friends here. We won’t laugh, in fact that eccentricity just may endear you to us more. Well ...I'm being as quirky as Swampwitch today. I'm sorta following the rules, and sorta not. Instead of hearing about my boring quirkiness, you are being treated to an old story about a quirky cat. * * * * Daggett was a cat with very odd behavior. I like to think she channeled my monthly mood swings. But, her excuse may be that her head was slightly injured in a c...
