Gray Dawn
Gray morning
Cranes fly over under skies
Daddy Owl hanging at dusk on the nest I hung on Susan’s Tree.
Daddy Owl loves the pedestal of bark I built onto the nest. It’s a good perch to hoot on.

Dawn
Sunset on Sandias
While taking the above photo of the Sandias in red, I heard a buzzing noise. I turned to see what it was and three paragliders were flying my way.
Moon and contrail at dusk
While I was photographing the moon and contrail, I heard an owl hooting close by. I investigated further and there was an owl perched on the edge of the nest I hung in Susan’s tree in August 2022. Hooteluja! Hooteluja! Hooooteluuuja!
It was dark, and I had to use 15x digital zoom on my phone’s camera, so I couldn’t tell if it was daddy owl. It could be one for the owlets from a few years ago out house shopping. Whichever owl it is, it’s a good sign to see an owl perched on the edge of the nest.

Afterglow
Night Rider
Dawn. Venus was still bright.
Reminiscent of nights gone by
Once again, riding in the dark
Eyes shine ahead
Coyotes and cows are split
By a sharp beam of light
Scamper into darkness
Only owls break the silence
As cold air rolls off the mountains
Splashing over the levee
Drenched in frigid air
Consumed by darkness
Sagebrush, cottonwood, and Jupiter rising.
Cottonwoods reach down and grab at you in the dark.
Light from a creature or spirit up ahead.
Dusk with lots of colorful particulate in the air.

Crescent Moon and shooting cloud
My Little Ponies visited the Great Wall of Chiles.

When I rode up to the gate a few minutes after sunset, Daddy Owl dropped in to say Hi!
Got Their Backs
Owlets will be flying soon.

Tulip shines in white
Like a virgin in the night
She blooms and she waits
Apple orchard in bloom
Puddle ducks in the ditch
Flying saucer or cloud?
Owlets looking at Laurie and me.

Happy Tulip got a good soaking from the irrigation water.
