Sometimes Tom and I take night rides around our town gawking at deer or whatever wildlife is out and about. A few days ago we were traveling up steep King Hill Road when an owl swooped over our car and landed on a nearby tree branch. It’s wingspan was quite expansive and at first it was quite hard to figure out what type of bird it was!
Tom put the truck in park while we watched the owl in the twilight. It stood absolutely still, probably about ten feet away from us. It was too dark to take a picture but it’s image is burned in my memory, it’s small stature, it’s wide alert eyes, it’s calm demeanor.
There’s something special about owls. When I see one I feel that magic is around me. It’s absolute beauty and composure amazes me, sometimes bringing me to tears.
It was a special wildlife moment that happens, taking my breath away! We were instantly mesmerized and what was really a minute or so, seemed like ages. I thank God for these creatures in my town and the opportunity to see them!
Owls are beautiful creatures and I wish you could have taken a picture. I was lucky and took a couple of pictures of a Eastern Screech Owl and her baby during daytime hours! Check out my Girl Scout Shortbread Cookies post Mary!

Netflix is pure magic! I am going to watch that one about mental illness. Beautiful Mind is one of my favourites. Even Ed Harris is stunning in that one!
