I will probably never have an experience like this again in my lifetime, so I will always treasure my summer with this family of burrowing owls. 💕🪶

I went birding a few days ago and it was so foggy at my destination, I stayed in the car and drew instead. The house I was parked next to had a nice cactus garden, so it all worked out. #Gouache #Watercolor #Cactus #Cacti #ArtYear

Enricowl was the greatest tenor in the history of the Owlpera. When he came to the Met, and opened his beak to sing the famous "Nessun dowlma" from Puccini's Turandowl, the owldience listened in awe. "Vincerowl", he hollered, hitting the highest B ever, "vin-ce-row-owllll..."

A dolphin that was toying with a Remora that was clinging to a Manatee last week in Tampa Bay. The dolphin eventually separated the remora from the manatee but only stalked it for a short time before leaving it be.

It’s cold and I’ve been on my belly for hours with my Nikon and wide-angle lens hoping to catch an emperor fly like missile from the sea.
Although I can barely feel my fingers, I couldn’t be happier. My heart is singing and I can’t help but smile.

The Beatowls' new photographowl wanted to create relaxed and natural pics. "Don't stand around so stiffly. Behave normal, act casual", she advised. Powl and Geowlge, however, were so much used to staged photos they didn't really comply. And the other two were slow to react as well.

These times are filled with horrors and inspiration.
Devastating defeats and historic victories.
Altogether, it's exhausting.
That's why we must find joy.
I find joy in 10,000+ crows going to roost at dusk.
Tonight was one of the best nights yet.
