Making sure we go the right way
On a cold and windy day

Beware!
So far away, but better than nothing
The only one
On a bitterly cold, hoar frosty day

On the way to pure whiteness
So beautiful
White against blue
My Christmas present to my daughter : )
The day before Christmas
Some white patches have eyes : )
Is it a Snowy? ... no, it isn't ... yes, it is!
Just for my records
A beautiful setting
Always a thrill
The long and the short of it : )
Snowy Owl
Worthy of another look
Avian perfection
A reward for facing my fears : )
In your dreams
With a wink and a smile
Yesterday's treat : )
One of 12 - and a wooden pole for a change : )
Beauty on the power pole
Not one wire, but two ... sigh
Beautiful, but blurry
Curiosity from up high
Always a happy sight
Such a treat
Got my eyes on you
Afternoon nap
Take-off
A welcome visitor
Sunlit, distant beauty
Breathtaking beauty
What a treat : )

The challenge of photographing Snowy Owls
If you've never had the chance to look for Snowy Owls, this photo is an example of how challenging a search can be. Occasionally, you might find one perched fairly close on a tall power pole at the edge of the road. More often than not, though, you see a brilliant splash of white in the middle, or at the far side, of an enormous field. They may be perched on such things as one of the irrigation structures seen in the background in this photo, on a very distant fence, or on the ground. Even in a tree, if you are really lucky - think I've only ever seen a Snowy in a tree on two occasions.
This photo was taken on 20 December 2014, when my youngest daughter and I went E and NE of the city for the day. Not the best photo, but at least it shows how the white bird shows up, even when extremely distant.
