I was going through old pics from last winter (February) this week and noticed the pleaseing bg so decided to process it. The other snowy owl pic was taken this June. I took it in Newfoundland on the Northern Peninsula just off the ocean coast. There was a steady rain at the time. Thanks for looking.

Wow Rick, I'd crawl through a quarter mile of snow to add a shot like that first one to my collection. Excellent shot. The second is very nice as well and hats off to you shooting in the rain to get it.

Beautiful shots Rick.....these owls are gorgeous, and ones that I'll more than likely never get to see in person.
