Maybe oddly, but I like the B&W version better than the color one. Regardless a lovely capture....I also like your flowers, but this is kind of unique. Traveller
Paul - this owl made it nest on a pillar underneath the overhang leading into the sales office for our community. She has been in this area before; sometimes in a palm tree.
Last year we had an owl (same one?) in a nest in a palm tree just outside our clubhouse.
They hang in this area because they are almost right on the golf course where there is always an abundance of food. They are not "tame", but they are certainly used to people that don't bother them.
