As several of my friends are aware, ever since I've been shooting Snowy Owls, I've always dreamed of having one land on my snowshoe. Well, just three weeks before my 60th birthday, this young Snowy gave me this gift!

The cold was bitter today, and for the first time this winter season, my camera froze enough that some of the buttons and settings just wouldn't work.

My knees are paying for today's outing with a very painful evening, but it was worth it. Thank God for painkillers.

Cheers,

Mike
