The great treasures of nature

An encounter that won't let me go, that still fascinates me and that means so much to me. I was able to discover this small and unique creature of nature on a trip to the east of Switzerland at the edge of a forest in wonderful weather conditions at the beginning of autumn 2022.
These were moments of great happiness for me that will stay with me forever, because long-eared owls are relatively small and difficult to spot because they are perfectly adapted to their surroundings and camouflaged. All owls can see very well and hear even better and can fly silently in almost complete darkness. This is what makes them so unique in the world of birds. I love these creatures and can watch them for hours when I can find them in the large and natural forests of the Swiss countryside.
"What we know is a drop, what we don't know is an ocean."
Isaac Newton
"There is a fulfilled life despite many unfulfilled wishes."
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"The goodness of the heart consists in a deep, universal compassion for all that has life."
"Any stupid boy can kick a beetle but all professors in the world can't make one."
- Arthur Schopenhauer
