It makes one feel so good when you get a chance to get a shot like this, no time to think, got to get the shot off, hope and pray that you got a good picture before its gone for good. Well you did just that Karen. You got a gorgeous look at this owl, its colors and features stand out beautifully. Love it, a favorite and am so happy it worked out so well for you. #11393586
