I was away on a business trip not too far from my home town this past week. I always bring my camera with me. On my way back home I came across a beautiful Snowy Owl perched on a power line. It hung out for a while and just stared at me. Got quite a few good images Here are a few from that day!

Thanks all!!!! After I got home and really checked out the BIF shots, I really found out what a Canon 7D and small amount of skill :) (my first real attempt at full manual wildlife shooting) are capable of. These are probably the best BIF shots I have taken to date. Appreciate the comments.

Well I always make a habit of coming to Boundry Bay whenever I come down to visit my brother in North Van. I wonder if there will be as many Snowy's there this year as there was last. Great place to capture some good images.

All three are beautiful shots , but I'm torn between #2 and #3 as my favorite. Thanks for sharing.


All I want is just a little more than I'll ever have.

The lighting is a bit flat in #3 for me. I like the glow better in the first 2 images. But its all in the eye of the beholder I suppose :)

Stunning series! This one has quite a bit of darker coloration on it. I always thought they were whiter. Is this a young one or between seasonal molt color changes like that species of hare that goes from white to brown and back again?
