Who's There???


This is just one of those things that I have to share...

My cousin lives in Colorado and has the incredible talent (which I do not have) of being a wonderful photographer. She never goes anywhere without her camera, and considering that she likes to get out and hike, and travel off the beaten path, she gets some fantastic pictures. I've told her again and again that she should make some of her pictures into notecards and calendars but she's much to modest.

Anyhow, she sent me the above picture today which she took out at the family farm. This is the same farm that I spent all my summers at and it holds a very fond place in my heart. Sadly, it will most likely be leaving the family soon (after nearly 60 years) because there's no one to take over the operation. Both of my cousins have careers in Denver, and farming isn't an occupation either of them aspired to. Goodness knows, Mr. Bluebird wouldn't know what to do if we ended up with the place. (I'd fulfill my fantasy of running an alpaca farm and knitting all day, but that's all it is, a fantasy).

So here's a picture of an owl out at the family place. I think it's awesome!

I love owls. Thank you for sharing. Our yearbook is the OWL so I am always on the lookout for the pictures of these magnificent creatures.

Terrific phot!

We hear owls all the time but haven't spotted one.

I often hear them in my neighborhood, but I've never been so lucky as to see one in the wild. Very cool.
