Nora Owl deciding what to think about the chatty paparazzo.
After I got home from work, I left the laundry for tomorrow, gathered up all the energy I could, and walked the mile north to check on Nora. I ran into Leslie who was also checking on Nora. Leslie said Nora was hunkered down in her nest so she could hardly see her. When I got Nora’s tree she was pretty hunkered down in the light of the setting sun. I started talking to her and asking her if she had any owlets yet. After about ten minutes she started responding and sat up a little. Then she sat up more and look different directions. Her breast feathers looked pushed up as if she had something under them. At one point she tilted her head back and pushed her chest out, but I couldn’t really see any owlets yet. After 30 minutes of pestering poor Nora Owl with my pesky paparazzo chattiness, I left so she could sit in peace. I think the owlets have hatched, but they are still too small to poke their heads out. I think Nora Owl made her best attempt to show them to me. Osric Owl started hooting behind me. When I found him he gave me “mad dogs”.
Rebecca at Tea Toast & Trivia interviewed me on the subject of Blogging, Photography, and Connecting. You can listen to my attempts to impart words of wisdom about blogging, photography, and connecting at https://wp.me/paMWWK-Cs. I really had a great time with the interview. Rebecca and Don, who does the recording, are two of the loveliest people I have ever met.
Still giving me steal eyes while starting to sit up more.
I think this was Nora’s best attempt to expose the owlets.

It was quite a sunset the pTer was watching.

You have all my favorite sunset/sunrise colors there, Tim! Those are very beautiful photos of your owls. You are probably right about the owls hatching, just not big enough yet for Nora to show you easily yet.
I have bookmarked the link to your interview with Rebecca, and will listen in tomorrow when I have some uninterrupted time.
Thanks, Lavinia. I’ll be interested in your thoughts on the interview.
Hi Lavinia – you will enjoy listening to Tim. He is an owl whisperer with a brilliant sense of humour!
Hi Rebecca, besides meeting Tiffany and Juliette Kings, Vampire Maman in person, Lavinia and I have spoken over the phone a few times.
I forgot that I also met blogger Teri Dashfield. She came to the Balloon Fiesta in 2016. She emailed me asking how to get a balloon ride. It’s difficult to get free rides and expensive to pay for rides. I did a little research and told her to apply for a press pass and check “I want a balloon ride”. We both applied for press passes. We both got them. And Teri got her balloon ride.
I have to get through a few long days of work here, and I’ll be able to listen.
Timothy, thank you for the fabulous pictures and the update. I hope the owlets show up soon. I did not read the interview yet, but I will. Sending hugs to everyone 🤗
You are welcome, Gabriela. Thanks for dropping by. The interview is audio.
My pleasure Timothy. I will listen too. Have a great day.
Hi Gabriela – you will enjoy listening to Tim! I am excited that he will be returning in future to talk about music and guitars!!!
SO incredibly cool!!!
Thanks, Cindy.
Never thought, owls could just sit and look in such expressive manners!
Nora Owl is expressive.
First of all, great interview Timothy ! So you had a chat with Nora Owl. I’m sure she’s proud of whats underneat her fethers but you still have to wait some time to see more -) Please keep Osric Owl as a friend… ha ha ha 😉 Nice photography Tim.
Thanks, picpholio. I think Osric Owl is not so sure we are “friends”.
Thank you for listening in picpholio! It is a fun conversation!
That was a really great interview! You are a natural on-air, super-fun listening to you!
Thanks, Tiffany. It was fun. You would be good for an interview on TT&T.
I agree wholeheartedly, Tiffany. Tim is a natural. I loved his Rosencrantz and Guildenstern story!!
Hi Tim. Thanks for posting the link to your interview with Rebecca at Tea Toast & Trivia. Enjoyed hearing your view and thoughts on life.
Thanks, Herman. It was a fun interview.
I am delighted that you listened in and joined the conversation. I love coming to Tim’s blog because there is always a party taking place.
My pleasure! You are so right, Tim’s blog is also one of my favourite blogs. His photographs are so beautiful and he throws in a good joke on a regular basis. Tim’s posts are always a good way to start my day.
Aww. Thanks, Herman.
It was a pleasure listening to you, and everything you said really resonated. Keep on truckin’ uh bloggin’. 🙂 P.S. Osric and pTer are great watchers and guardians of your haunts.
Thanks, Mary Jo.
Thank you Mary Jo! We are on a grand adventure!
Ah, Tim, you have the most beautiful dialogues with nature and I’m sure Nora Owl and Daddy Owl appreciate your friendship. Here’s to seeing more pointy fluffy ears soon! 😉
I just listened to your beautiful interview at Rebecca’s Tea Toast & Trivia and my smile still lingers! A most sincere, captivating and from the heart interview. A pleasure knowing you, my dear friend.
Thank you so much, Marina. I’m happy you liked the interview. When I listen to myself, I think I sound kind of silly, but them I guess I am a silly guy. I’m so happy Resa got us together.
No you’re not and no you don’t sound silly! But most of us [me included!] hate our voice!
Likewise, my friend, I’m so grateful to her for meeting you.
I agree, Marina. Tim has a natural voice for podcasting – it resonates with good cheer and fun times.
Oh, indeed! He had my constant attention with a smile throughout the 20+ minutes [which went so quickly!] xoxo
Silly isn’t always bad.
I know it’s not, and I always use it in it’s ‘happy’ meaning [in which case, I agree! ;-)] but purposefully happy… To me, a very good thing! English not being my native language, I can’t be sure it has ‘my’ meaning! 😉
I have always wondered how serendipity brings people together to form a community. I look back and am amazed at how beautifully it all evolves. I love the title “incognito.”
Marina’s name for her tree is brilliant, and perfect. Resa is another blogger who is good a forging communities. I met Marina and all the Art Gown models through Resa. I’m trying to remember if Resa was the common link it our meeting. I believe she was.
I think she was too!
Oh, so am I, my dearest Rebecca. When I started blogging I never thought I’d meet so many beautiful people. Incognito was the first word that came to mind when I saw how inconspicuously my pear tree was growing! 😉
The adventure continues….
Yes, it does!
Thanks for this wonderful update Tim. Your images are beautiful as always.
Thanks, Silvia.
Hey Tim, Great interview man. Your thoughts on the technical\gear thing struck a “chord” with me.
‘It’s not the Guitar and all the gear’… Guitars and all the gear don’t play music. Humans make the music.
Give me a rusty washtub a broomstick and a long piece of wire and I’ll play you a Bass Line :))
It was good hearing your voice.
Hope to see you in person again soon.
Ron |<:^)
Thanks, Ron. We make what you have work. Good stuff can really help, but you can do a lot with the basic equipment. Joel keeps threatening to drive out.
I am delighted that you listened in Tim. Don and I thought that Tim’s insight about the gear was profound. By the way, I remember, as a child, watching my father playing the washtub and the saw.
Ron would play a mean one stringer. I remember many years ago when Tristan was a teenager, she won tickets to a concert at the Sunshine Theater downtown. The theater is a dump, and the first band was a grunge band. I never figured out if the one string on the bass, then missing parts on the drumset and trashed amps were part of the act or they truly could not afford strings, or to repair their equipment. They made a very nonjoyful noise.
Thank you for letting us listen to your conversation with Nora, Tim. She is gorgeous, what a supercool personality! Brilliant photos, this made my evening now.
Cheers!
Dina
You are welcome, Dina. Thank you for stopping by and joining us.
We just listened to your interesting interview with Rebecca on Tea, Toast and Trivia. It’s lovely to get to know more about a fellow blogger through a podcast.
All the best,
Dina
Thank you Dina for listening in and being a wonderful support and encouragement to the TTT conversations. Sending much love and hugs your way!!!
Thanks, Dina, I agree. It’s really fun to listen to interviews with fellow bloggers.
What a great post, Tim. The owls, the knowledge that the owlets are surely going to be appearing here soon and your wonderful interview with Rebecca. I agree with you on the whys of blogging. I couldn’t tell you any of my numbers but the comment section? That makes it all worthwhile for me. I try to explain to my sisters that real friendships form on this forum because we share way more than we would in person!
Hi Dale – I confess that I don’t look at my analytics so I couldn’t tell you any numbers either. I agree that it is the comments that make it all worthwhile. Many thanks!
That’s great. I find that those who focus on that lose something in this whole “business”!
And all the fun.
True!
Thanks, Dale. Exactly. When I complain about Laurie putting together family get together that cause me a lot of work, Laurie says “You have your whole blogging community you interact with daily.” She has a point.
She does… 🙂
The more you show Nora, the more I love her. She is beautiful, and has beautiful eyes too. I hope the owlets are ok. I am listening to the program now, it is nice to hear you.
Thank you for listening in, Firenz. I appreciate your visit and comments. Sending many thanks your way.
I am happy I could listen to you and Tim. I’ll be back to your place soon, and listen to other interviews. Thank you, Clanmother.
I am delighted that we connected Firenz’ Many thanks for listening in…
She is turning out to be quite a character. Thanks, Flo. You hope you enjoy the interview.
Yes, I really did.
Nora is a star now, thanks to you.
The excitement is building! Always enjoy the owl updates.
Thanks, Brian.
I’ve enjoyed the comments so much!
Thanks, folks! ♥
Thanks, Inchcock.
The owl shots are fabulous! As soon as I catch up here, I’m heading to TT&T!!!!!
Thanks, Resa.
Listening now!!!
Awww!
Thanks, Dawn.
Wow these photographs of the owls are amazing. I like that they converse with you. I bet the babies are definitely there by now. I really enjoyed the interview Tim. I had no idea that you started blogging almost like a diary, Then it sounds like people got use to those beautiful pictures and wanted more, can’t blame them. Also enjoyed hearing you talk about how the “Trees” got started. I am so glad the heart tree is still there even though it is not a live tree as it is so amazing. Have a great Easter and by the way we are a lot like you all. We haven’t had much of a change in our life either because we spend time here and enjoy our isolation as well. Take great care. Love Joni
Happy Easter. Thanks for listening. I’m keeping an eye on the owls. Thanks, Joni.
So exciting. We have Wrens that come back every year and I love watching their nest. This year our milkweed should be back and it will be time to bloom. It was covered in so many worms and then we had so many monarchs. Give them my best your beautiful owls. ❤️ Joni
Nora is just gorgeous Tim … I’m going to listen to your interview today!
Hey Tim … I so enjoyed the interview! You are such an inspiration! Wonderful 👏 Now about that tree 😉
Thanks, Julie. I’m happy you enjoyed it. I didn’t get you a tree yet?
No tree yet! A rose would be good though 😁
Do you want the giant Dr Huey?
Yes please!! 👏
It’s yours.
👍🙂
Lovely photos. 🙂
Thanks, dunelight.
