Have you ever read The Good Earth? There’s a character in there toward the end named Pear Blossom. She’s a nice servant girl who attracts the attention of the main character.
Exactly! And I find it adorable in all it’s phases! 😉
Did you get any pics of the full tree in bloom?
Those are gorgeous!
That’s the extent of the blooms.
On… I know nothing about pear trees…. except Marina has one!
The peat tree wants to be apical dominant, but I prune it into more of a ball shape, so the branches that would bloom higher on the tree have been removed. By the end of the season the tree look more like a cone than a ball with the center growing straight up and branches shoot out from the center branch.
I did NOT see the mama owl.
If you had not add the caption, I would never had known.
Great Camouflage!
Do you have great eyes for finding hidden things, or did you see her going in and out of the nest?
Her dark and light brown colors match that tree perfectly. Tell mama I’m impressed!
This is the same pair that has used this nest for thepast several years. Up until winter, we see the owlets, but when spring comes, and we only seem to see the same pair again. The pair of owls that were nesting in the cottwon to the north are not nesting it the same place this year. Apparently some raccoons got of in their nest and trashed it. Raccoons are the bandants they are made out to be.
Interesting!
At least you know your owls. That’s the way of much of nature… this is my spot. Go forth and find your own!
OMG… There are several restaurants around the corner from me. They have been closed for several weeks, and the raccoons food source has dried up. NOW, they fight on my rear roof every night, and eat the insulation from the copper piping. UGH!
What a racket!
Off Center & Not Even 
Amazing photos Timothy! The owl is sooo well hidden.
Thanks, John.
I enjoyed these, Tim. Lovely spring blossoms and Mama Owl on her eggs is always a treat. I can’t wait to see the youngsters!
Thanks, Lavinia. They should be hatching out soon.
Oh!! My Tangle Heart Tree! She’s Gorgeous ! Lovely photographs Timothy. That beautiful owl is perfectly camouflaged! Thank you for the wonderful pics.
Thanks, Holly.

Have not read it. But that’s a good name for a young woman. Thanks, Lyn.
Those pear blossoms are absolutely gorgeous.
Hey thanks for the video. Cool song.
Thanks, Lonely. I just send you another video.
Cool
Thanks Tim, for sending these photos to keep us curious and thankful for the beauty in the world around us.
You are welcome, Juanita. Thanks for visiting and commenting.
The camouflage of mama owl is just perfect 🙂
She blends right in. Thanks, Harry.
Beautiful pictures !
Thanks, Inge.
Oh, I knew I was right about the pear tree!!! 😉
Your blossoms are gorgeous and needless to say how much I love Mama Owl ears!
Chapeau! 🙂
Thanks, Marina. The pear tree is darling. Although once it loses it’s blossoms and leafs out, it will be incognito as you noted.
Exactly! And I find it adorable in all it’s phases! 😉

Interesting…. a communications effect… perfect!
Perfect!

Love both subjects but suspect Moma owl might feature more in the future.
Hi Couriers. The owlets certainly will.
Never seen pear blossoms before. How long does it take for the owlets to come out? 🐌
Hi Dot. The incubation period is around 33 days. The owlets will be hatching soon.
A nice bit of beauty. Many thanks, Tim.
Thanks, David.
So beautiful!
Thanks, Tiffany.
Amazing
Stay well in this days

Hi Mary. I know where she’s nesting. But I’ve gotten [retty good and finding owls and other critters in the trees.
Beautiful shots, Tim! I love that the owls are back at it. Do you ever recognize any owls from last season(s)?
