All winter I’ve been hoping to get an owl photograph. No luck. Today, my patience finally paid off.

LOL, I understand. There is a building by one of my hunting spots with an owl statue on it. I mistook it for the real thing. I almost decided to take a picture anyway.

Crop a little off the top! All in good fun. I have one of these in my horse barn. I should try the same thing!

Ok, this is the story of my life! I have tried for ages to get an owl and so far no luck. This might be the only way I will manage. Thanks for the idea!

Lolol!

Thank you all for such funny and clever comments. Grizz and Moose in particular. Hilarious.

More importantly, thank you all for not banishing me for such a goofy shot.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

With practice you might be able to sneak in a little closer next time.
