Owl in Our Woods
Here's another shot from the other day. We hear them often in the day now. We've gotten Oliver to say "Hear the owl??" plus the hoot noises. He's so funny!

Hummingbird Moth
One of the coolest insects I've ever seen.
First shot of the season! The best I could do today... he was here and gone in a flash.

Yesterday, we heard the owls hooting early evening. I grabbed my camera and was able to get a couple of shots before I couldn't see them anymore. This was taken in the middle of the woods and was getting pretty dark already. It happened so fast, no time to put on shoes, so barefoot I went. Thanks to Photoshop, was able to brighten up a bit.

Can you spot the owl??
On Sunday, me and my husband saw this huge bird flying through the woods. I grabbed my camera and this was the best shot I could get but still wanted to share. I don't see these everyday... during the day. Click the picture for a larger version.
