The Owl

The cool owl

We go exploring a lot and take pictures of all the cool things we find.

This day was certainly not lacking anything cool. After having breakfast out, feeding the ducks and geese at the park we were driving down a back road and saw this guy standing in the middle of the road. He was so beautiful and did not appear to be hurt or scared of us for that matter. When Scott went to try to pick him he rotated his head all the way to his back following Scott’s progress. That could intimidate anyone.

So with the owl distracted, I got a thick, quilted baby blanket from the far and put it over the owl and moved him to the side of the road after two attempts. I did not want to hold him to tightly in case something was injured.

He must not have been too badly hurt because after we got him to the side of the road he flew away.

I think getting to be so close to him made everyone’s day.
