this past winter, cape cod, nantucket and martha's vineyard have been graced with the presence of several snowy owls... they're arctic birds so they were way south of their usual haunts... climate change anyone? they stayed all winter and I lucked out with several photos of this one...

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have any film.

The climate is certainly changing dramatically!.. We just got to look at what is happening all over our planet!...And they tell us it is all because of 'Man'!

great catch on this lovely bird!...I have several photo's of these, but snapped in captivity!

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

They say that these owls show up in Ohio too, but I have never seen one yet. Beautiful shot, Mary.

Wow, you are so lucky, he's gorgeous and you've captured him perfectly. Well I don't blame him, because our winter was really colder then usual

In the Middle Ages owls were the symbol of wisdom.
Very good image!
