he's back!

just so it can be known - this
is the overhead canopy i have over
our property! when the owls start
calling to each other...i run out
and look up into this...
yes he is there...




"he is right up there over your
head"! right!

anyway here is a close up

Bo

His name? "Bo" "Bodacious" "BoDiddley"



He comes when you call.
He comes bearing gifts - usually a
stick or sometimes a limb..
as in tree branch.


Remarkable
Outstanding.
Bold and Audacious

Most of all he is gentle.


He quietly walks beside you...and
even stays when i can
tell he would prefer to run on ahead.






He was a gift when friends
moved from acres to an
in town lot...and we love him.





Thank you Bill and Amber.

my favorite visitor

i can be doing anything in the house - hear
this guy and his friend calling each other outside...
run get the camera and tip toe out the door.
... wait ...
... listen ...
... wait ...
and then move in the direction i think the closest
sound is coming from...then the hunt begins.

i can never never see them...always someone has
to point him out to me...
this time "if you just stand right over here by the
tractor and point the camera up in the air he is on
top of your head..." right!
then "you will never make a photographer if you can't
see them!" "he is right over your head!"
sure enough -




not exactly over my head..but he tolerated the
tractor, the dogs and me...



i think he was very tired...no more calling and the eyelids
just starting to droop...




he stayed and i watched the light change
across his feathers...beautiful soft light...

it once again became quiet.

COLD!!!

it was way way too cold
here in sunny southwest
Florida!



these little guys could not
make themselves any smaller!

where have i been?

it has flown by - time - that is! over a year
and half has just disappeared...i think cause
as we get older it just oozes on...
but i am still here, and have photos to
verify that...lots of photos...
just received a new camera from my son, trying
to get used to it and the dials...and my husband
says "did you get those pelicans..we don't have
those down here?!" turned quickly and shot four
times and got these guys...oh my!



don't ya love them?!
