THANK you
This is one of my favortite pics. Lucky shot.
I took this last fall at Latta Plantation. He was sitting on a fence looking at the kids on the trail.
I used 70-300 lense.
My next lense if I ever find the time for a second job LOL is a 700.

I need one of those lenses...I have a big white Snowy Owl thats been hanging around for the last month--usually sitting on the same tree stump or same telephone pole every day...Almost looks like he is listening to me when I talk to him anymore...
With the weather as nice as it has been (50 degrees today), he probably thinks he's in Florida....Dad always used to say if the snowy owls started showing up it was a sign of a cold winter- I hope he isn't right about the rest of it....

a week ago there was a snow owl on the hedge post here in Kansas. I watched him for about an hour as I was disking, and he just hopped off to get a mouse and then went right back there to his post. I stoppped the tractor and watched him with the binnoculars for while, he never seemed threatened.
I went home for lunch and looked it up on the internet and it said they only make it this far south every 5 years or so. I pray the cold winter thing is not a very accurate forcast.....

MsSage well done.
I stand here wondering why only 2 people offered you congradulations. The only reason I can come up with is jelousy. You have a gifted eye as Hanta Yo stated.
Please check your private message. I want to see your portfolio I do graphic art but I dont take pictures.
