This is an image of a barred owl I found at Myakka River State Park. They are such neat birds. I had to wait forever it seemed for the owl to turn towards me. It had been looking to it's left for about half an hour. It looked me up and down and after posing for about 10 minutes longer and then flew away into the woods.
The swirly abstract background is my own. The image with the 3 wise men came from publicdomainpictures.net.
Making a spur of the moment decision to make the long haul up to Humboldt County, with a chance of not seeing this 'wise old owl', was a choice I will never regret. Seeing this amazing and beautiful Great Gray Owl with birding buddies Marty & Sharon is an experience we will always remember.
On our arrival it was perched on a nearby tree branch and then made it's way to it's hunting grounds on the field where there were many birders and photographers waiting and watching. What a show it did put on.
The next two days were not nearly as eventful...but what a great time we all had.
Thank you for your visit and comments.

I was not very close, this is a highly cropped shot with a zoom lens. Still, he knew I was there. Crows had alerted me. This is the male of a pair I've followed for several years. Check out that claw pointed at me.

Wise people learn not to dread but actually to welcome problems because it is in this whole process of meeting and solving problems that life has its meaning.

Here's the rescue elephant we met in Thailand at the beach while at Phulay Bay. The girls got to feed Coco and she was very gentle. I've grown to really love elephants more and more. I always kinda “liked” them from television, but the more time I spend up close to them… I can really sense something. Or, at least, I think I can.

Another raptor being readied for release back into the wild by the Hyland Park Preserve Raptor Center. I would love to get a shot at one in the wild one day. Whenever I see them it seems they have seen me first and are already in flight. Such beautiful animals.

52 Weeks of Ollie
Since I seem to have lost my photo mojo, I briefly considered doing a Year In Photos project; starting January 1. But yesterday came and went and I never did figure out a theme, let alone actually get the camera out to shoot anything. So, inspired by Dexter, I decided to do a 52 Weeks of Ollie project. This seems much more manageable.
So, here he is. We are teaching him the oh-so-useful-trick of balancing things on his face.
And if you left these glasses at our house, please let me know. They may not survive too many more training sessions.
Tavern Puzzles are reproductions of a type of puzzle traditionally forged by blacksmiths to amuse their friends at country taverns and inns. Keeping with tradition, a museum-trained blacksmith from Long Island has reproduced some of these antique designs as well as his own original designs. All the puzzles are handcrafted and individually assembled. Each puzzle is mechanical in nature; removal of the object piece does not rely on force or trickery. This one is called "Wise Guy" and is considered intermediate difficulty. Just remove the ring... I have a dozen of them, one of which I have yet to solve.
