What a difference a day makes. Here are more photos of the Snowy Owl that showed up here in North Texas. The sun came out on Sunday and provided us with good light to take photographs of this beautiful Owl. I'm still excited that I got the chance to see her and that she was so close to where I live. The perch isn't ideal but that's where she was comfortable. Thanks for looking in.


A late afternoon stretch.

Great shots Brad. We can't tell them where to land so we do the best we can, and you did real well! :)

Even with the bright sun you managed to get some "eye opening" images Brad... nice work, she sure is one beautiful owl... well done.

Nice Brad, I drove up to see this Owl and took some pictures. I keep seeing all these other snowy owl shots on nice perches and we get a nice metal light standard!!! Great shots though!
