...................whooooo


...likes tatting? Well, I do! But, I don't have any photos to show of it now. I just finished one of my Christmas Exchange 'things' and have another to do, plus my own, so, no photo of that yet. BUT, I can show you this little guy! Isn't he adorable!? As far as I can make out, he is an Eastern Screech Owl. My neighbor came over today, and said she had seen me taking photos in the yard this summer, and wondered if I would like to take a photo of the owl in her tree. I JUMPED at the chance! I ran and got my camera, and here is the result. I have more photos of him, too. My neighbor said he lived in the tree, she had just noticed him recently, and I could come over and take pictures whenever I wanted. I told her, oh, yes, you can expect me!

Ooh, I love him. Make sure you take lots and lots of pictures. One night last winter while driving down a dirt road, something caught my eye. A big barn owl was just coasting along side my truck! After a few minutes, he just casually flew over my and perched on a fence post. His wing span was as wide as the truck, too. Absolutely magnificent.

Can't wait to see what you're tatting! I just know it's something good.

Great Pictures!! I have never seen an owl in the wild. How awesome you got to see him and take pictures. I saw a bald eagle for the first time this summer and got a few pictures, but not this close up. Thanks for sharing.
