He was great, as it were; very calm and seemed to enjoy the ride on the electric cart the docent was giving him. Docent stops and gives a short history of the bird and its nature to park guests. Lowry Park Zoo, Tampa Bay.

This is a sweet capture ... very nice detail and color. The expression on the owl's face is priceless. He's probably saying "One more for the road".

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Are you sure he wasn't the docent himself? It looks like he's talking up a storm to the crowd while keeping his other eye on the view he's describing...I had to save this one.

"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon

What a great Owl Charlie
You've captured a great expression too, the clarity is terrific or should I say spot on. :o)
Definitely a fav, and into the offline collection.

Life's around said Phil the 35 millimetre cameraman. I recently went to the doctors, and said I've got icon fever, but he told me there was no cure for the disease.

What a great head shot. Poor bird looks like he has been on a 9 day binge. I have awakened mornings looking like that. This is a keeper.

Wow, looking through your gallery I've missed some great posts by you while absent the past couple of months. Had to comment on this one ... OUTSTANDING!!!. Simply LOVE this shot Charlie. A pleasure to view full screen. The clarity and detail blew my socks off. Gotta keep this one in my favorites for sure.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.
