Owl....

It was the huge wingspan that made her turn.
Totaly unexpected, the owl slid in so quietly.
She moved in closer, to get a better shot.
But the ground was spring muddy, the footing poor.
She slid and almost fell, all the time keeping
the camera trained on that owl.
The shot ended shaky.
Still, she had captured the fly-off.

Melting into spring.......

Still barely making it past 40'
Cooled by a colder breeze.
Spring's hiding in the trees.
Magic. It's everywhere.
