    That was my poor wording, I read where the fledgeling was knocked down. You’re so kind and gentle in your replies, a fine example for us to model.

    All of your posts are so well-chosen, it’s clear you put time, effort and thought into them, and I do so appreciate that effort. Tree topper was cute, babies are cute, adults are often so serious looking. I think the dusk/dawn lighting lends something ethereal, haunting beauty, and heightens the soft appearance of fledglings.

    Happy Friday, friend.

      I do my best to give everyone something to look forward to. Even for those that aren’t owl people, they should still be beautiful photos. It’s also nice to just learn and teach about something that is just for fun. It’s not like I’m trying to get you to learn some “marketable skill” or how to monitor and drain the life out of a hobby. It’s all just for fun.

      The golden hour shots have been a huge hit this year, so I always try to have some on hand to share. Luckily that is a great time to see owls doing their thing!

        That’s the best part. Being an adult should include lots of fun. I’m so glad you’re in our lives, online or otherwise. My life is richer and more rewarding because of that

            Well, a lot of people won’t get this, but there’s a difference between childish and child-like. Iykyk
