Right into my favorites dear friend. I just love owls, find them so fasinating and beautiful, admire their role as a bird of prey. I seldom ever get to actually see one in the wild or even for that matter at any of the zoo's I have been to. This Great Horned owl is beutifully captured with its gorgoeus colors, its remarkable features. That face and those eyes let you know this is one serious bird. A work of beauty my friend to be be enjoyed over and over. Annie and I hope your day is as beautiful. #9073773
