Sunset
I will look until the hills…..
Thanks, Rebecca.
Yes, indeed. Osric and the brood are looking handsome. “Willa doing the Funky Chicken” absolutely slayed me! Tim, I still say you could make a fabulous coffee table book of the owls. Hug on the wing.
Thanks, Teagan. Willa is funny. Nora dropping dinner got me.
Amazing moon and so much fun with the owlets!
Thanks, Heidi.
Fine job capturing their many moods and movements! 🦉 The Sandias looks stunning in the background.
Thanks, Michele.
My pleasure! 🙏🏻
Pictures that made me smile… I wish all the best for the young owls.
Thanks, Rudi.
What a send off you gave them. I hope they come back.
This is where they will be for a while. South of the tree they were born in. Thanks, Shey.
U r more than welcome TImothy.
I am simply amazed at how the owls camouflage themselves……So beautiful and clever. All wonderful 🙂
Thanks, Janet.
Nora and Osric are so lucky to have such beautiful kids! Willa and Walter are such posers!
Moon and the Sandias …ah!
Thanks, Marina.
Beautiful photos of the moon. Nora and Walter are beautiful and fluffy. They are getting bigger. Walter sure gets spoiled with Nora providing him food lol
Thanks, Rebecca.
I thoroughly enjoyed this owl series, Tim! I found all the owls in those photos. They do blend in well with their surroundings!
I love the sunset and moon photos, especially the one with the Sandias.
Overcast up here last night and I did not get to see the moon. Today looks like it will be much the same.
Thanks, Lavinia. Clear for the crane this morning.
Ugh, I am so far behind – the little ones are getting so big! Still under the watchful eyes of their parents.
They are bigins now. Thanks, Brian.
Wonderful collection of the owls Tim! And I really liked the moody moon too.
Thanks, Brad.
We all enjoyed these, Tim. Carer Kimberly especially. She’s fell in love with Osric.
He’s a looker. I’m not surprised. Thanks, Inchie.
Very true. Cheers, Tim,
I love these shots of the Flower Moon. We had unbelievable storms last night and cloudy skies the night before so, so far I’ve been SOL. I love when you get us to look for the owls. Took a while to find Osric, tell you what!!
The Sandias are always just so beautifully highlighted.
Sounds a bit awful on with the storms. The owls camo very well. Thanks, Dale.
There was a crack of thunder last night with such a flash of lightening. I just ’bout near jumped out of my skin!
They are experts at camo!
That was a close one. Our house got struck by lighting once. Laurie was hanging a plant on a rail I had installed in the ceiling in the sun room when it hit. She said an arc of electricity sparkled all the way around the rail. Luckily she didn’t get zapped. The lightning dented the metal roof, melted the breakers in the breaker box, and took out our computer. Fortunately, it didn’t start the house on fire.
It was!
And what a scary thing to live through. So glad Laurie didn’t get zapped.
Many, MANY moons ago, we were up at the neighbour’s cottage. Mrs. D. was on the phone with Mr. D. (it was a mothers and kids getaway). Lightening went through the window (without breaking it), hit the mirror, which shattered and blew the phone off the wall – right next to the mirror. She couldn’t hear from that ear for a long time. Needless to say, Mr. D. was frantic at the other end…
I can imagine Mr. D. was frantic. Thinking back with phones on the wall, you wonder how we ever communicated, but then again, we seemed to communicate a lot more back then than we do now. I used to organize bike races and all I had was a landline and snail mail.
He was. I can’t remember (was just a kid) if someone went to the neighbour’s to call him. And yes, we communicated way more back then. Imagine, my father was a real estate agent and he went to the office, got his little pink messages, called people back and then went home… none of this immediate beck and call crap we have today.
Willa and Walter have grown so much! I love the photos of Sandias and the moon seen through clouds. I spotted Willa and Walter in the tree. Osric was too well camouflaged.
Look near the ground on the right side of the photo to find Osric. Thanks, Liz.
Found him! You’re welcome, Tim.
Dropping dinner is frowned upon here as well, Tim. (I found Willa and Walter!)
Look for Osric near the ground on the right side of the photo. Thanks, Bruce.
Lovely and especially the fuzzy feathers of the owlet.
Thanks, Gigi.
So sweet.
Walter and Willa are beautiful. I wonder where they will move? I still hope someowl will move into your nest.
I found everyone in the pics. Osric was quite low! xx
Osric is following his NM culture and being a low rider. Thanks, Resa.
Love Low Rider! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsrqKE1iqqo
It’s a great song. Española, NM, north of Santa Fe was considered the Low Rider Capital of the world in the 80s and 90s.
The groove is fab!
Cool! I’m sure there’s still some low riders around.
We still have low riders in New Mexico, but I don’t think there are as many in Española these days. The Albuquerque Police have a low rider police car. They Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Dept had a Camero painted like a Hot Wheels Car: https://photos.tandlphotos.com/blog/2017/3/hot-wheels
Oh wow! That’s a fun looking car, thanks Tim!
“The low rider drives a little slower”… great advice for humans racing through life. Kind of another way of saying – stop and smell the roses.
Or “Slow down and smell the exhaust!” Central Ave (old Route 66) downtown on Friday and Saturday nights used to be a traffic jam of low riders slowing moving along, blaring music, and showing off to each other with the acrobatics of their hydraulic systems. Do you remember this clip? https://youtu.be/AxFxnk4OITs?si=sidRbul9lPSl_sgQ
Barely… but hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Here’s the APD low rider: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KhDBpUT1ZeI/maxresdefault.jpg
Okay, now that is cool!!!
Love Funky Chicken!
She has some great moves. Thanks, Geoff.
It took me awhile to find him … he is so close to the ground. Great pics Tim!
Thanks, Julie.
