Something About an Owl



Today I saw the owl for the first time.

Soaring over our house
she alighted at the top of the highest tree.
Swaying in the bay breeze
I thought she was a hawk....

then she turned her head and
I saw her snow white face.

I was struck on many levels

by

the mystery

the stillness

the otherworldiness

of her.

I saw the other side

somehow.

Myself...

Beautiful owl pictures! My husband loves owls and a few years ago we went to a rescue shelter in Vermont which had several different types. Your blog design is beautiful. Karen is so talented. Wishing you a wonderful day.
