20201219 9333 Barred Owl r4.jpg

Ottawa West

With our covid-19 restrictions, I feel like I'm becoming owl-like; that is, lonely (minimal people interactions) and territorial (confined to my home and neighbourhood).

It is most annoying to see so many (including politicians, neighbours, friends and family) not following the covid-19 restrictions imposed and recommended.

Nikon D7200 ,AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II ,1.4 T.C.
1/400s f/7.1 at 175.0mm iso2500 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I completely agree with you Hank. There are still too many people flouting rules, heading off on overseas holidays or south of the border; not distancing, etc. We'll never control of this this thing unless we all behave as responsible adults! Great photo too!

Take care over there!

Wise words and advice, 1 in 50 UK residents predicted to have Covid right know and people still float the rules!

I think the year is already better with the wise old owl speaking.
He must know about the vaccine .
Nice setting for the talking photo.

Beautiful capture, Hank. Yes, I hope to see Covid-19 in the taillights.

Helen Betts 06-Jan-2021 05:25
I never thought of it in those terms, but I guess I'm pretty much of an owl, too. I am simply dumbfounded by the behavior of so many irresponsible and inconsiderate people in this country.

I know just how you feel, Hank. The grey cold days don’t help but hopefully the occasional photo time which results in photos like this one will lift your spirits.

a wise spokeperson stating what most of us would agree with...alas, there are still irresponsible people at large, especially the public figures who set a bad example..
