Modern charm


Yesterday, 25 January 2016, after staying away from the Short-eared Owls for a week, I decided I would go back and see if one of them might just happen to land on something a little bit closer. Also, the weather forecast for the day was for sunshine and cloud, but the forecast for later in the week was for more snow.
I had somewhat better luck yesterday, but the owls were still some distance away, so I had to fully zoom (48x), which resulted in less than sharp photos. Needless to say, though, I was thrilled to get a few better looks at these beautiful owls. I was the only person around when I saw this owl down the road. This does seem to be a good winter for this species, which is exciting.
While I was there, I bumped into friend, Pam. We decided to take a drive further afield and this beautiful barn was seen way off in the distance. Not sure if it is a modern barn or an old barn that has been totally renovated. The bright, warm colour in a bare, winter landscape was such a welcome sight.
