Mr Friedman - 2 really beautiful captures. I have never seen an owl up close in nature. Been dying to see one!

My friend saw one the other day at his church (near the steeple). It was late afternoon. He rushed home to get his camera. Photographed the owl - only to get home and download - to see it was a wooden owl. He was the laughing stock of the parish for a while...

Elsa, I think it's time you went to the Kgalagadi...

Bob, the second image is great!  I love the feel of the Owl purveying his territory from his home.

Elsa, that is too funny!
