HOW ON EARTH did you get so close to him Chris? Either you are very brave, or you have a powerful zoom on your camera. Or both. Either way, it's a wonderful picture. Thanks for posting it!! :)

Hi David
The owl I think is a scandinavian hawk owl and it was being shown at the local garden centre. It was tethered behind a barrier, but was only about 3 feet away, which was enough for me to take the picture at arms lenth with the camera setting on macro. I did have to be reasonably quick though, because my fingers were just about 6 to 8 inches away from that beak.

This evening I went to the fireworks display in Longview...I took some pics and was a bit unhappy with them...at first...but I started cropping them and saw that they actually ARE kinda interesting...
this one looks like a glass paperweight on a black velvet cloth...
this one reminds me of plants under the ocean
