Looking out the kitchen window while doing dishes last week… I saw an owl.
.
.
We hardly ever spot them so I was tickled to get a photograph, even if it was only of his back.
Then… about 10 minutes later?
.
.
There he was!
.
.
A beautiful barred owl perched on our back deck railing.
.
.
Sitting pretty and letting me snap some much better pics.
.
.
He didn’t even mind the deer showing up for dinner.
.

My husband and I were like little kids at the zoo and clicked photos like mad.
.
.
He was so beautiful!

Oh wow. What a morning. I would be ONE big kid too if I witnessed that. Brilliant. I really enjoyed this post and I was grinning from ear to ear.

In 23 years of living here I think we’ve had one owl land on the roof.
This was magical!

I bet. I wouldn’t be surprised if you witness more encounters with this owl.
