Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: near a creek

This photo was taken on 2 April 2016, NW of the city. It had been a week since I had last driven to this area, so I decided to drive there again and see if I could find a Great Gray Owl. When I arrived, three people had already found a Great Gray Owl - apparently, it had been sitting on a fence post moments before, but flew off into the far line of trees just as I was slowly arriving. Much as I am delighted to see an owl anywhere, along the edge of the trees is my least favourite place, as the owl is then in the shade. After a while, I decided to drive further along the road to see if there were any other owls to be seen, and when I returned, the handful of people were photographing one sitting on a fence post. I just managed to get three or four shots before it flew off to the forest. Later, about half way home, I drove along a couple of backroads that I had driven once (or twice) before. Almost missed this old barn, as the colour matched the early spring, brown colours of the setting.
