So long, Ms. Snowy

This winter, to my great surprise, the village cemetery turned out to be a joyful place for me. This is because it was there that I found the same female Snowy Owl, again and again. I usually found her sitting on the ground in the snow or on a low cement bench. It was very different to drive to the cemetery one day and find Ms. Snowy perched atop a tombstone, not far from the road. I didn't realize it then, but this would be the last time I'd see Ms. Snowy. At least, for Winter 2017-2018. I'm not sure what to make of the inscription on the tombstone...if anything. I just know that I will be thrilled to go to the cemetery next winter and find a Snowy Owl!

 

Please note: In reality, the monument that the owl is sitting on shows the names of the deceased at the top of it with the words, "one day at a time" beneath the names. I didn't feel okay about showing the names, so I removed them in PS and moved the inscription upwards.
