I appreciate so much your ability to truly "see," to be amazed, and to tell about it. So many lovely moments on this ordinary morning, simply because you were awake to them. Wonderful owl photos, and all the others, as well.

Do you remember what you were wearing? Both the owl and the raccoon seemed very interested in you. Maybe you have a lucky wildlife hiking outfit or more likely they could sense a kindred spirit.

Only difference was that we went during the day so we had lots of people around us, wish we had thought to go so early.<br /><br />Love your pictures of the Barred Owl, they are beautiful and so was it. I love owls and enjoy seeing the Great Horned Owl at the campground we work at during the summer. I look forward to hopefully seeing her again this spring.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.travelwithkevinandruth.com" rel="nofollow">www.travelwithkevinandruth.com</a>Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-40057264689312392742015-01-28T19:52:22.125-05:002015-01-28T19:52:22.125-05:00Apparently the early bird gets the wildlife sighti...Apparently the early bird gets the wildlife sightings! I should remember that and get out early by myself more often. But I live with a late riser and I tend to use the early(ish) morning time when we're traveling to do my photo editing and blog post writing.
