Great Horned Owl's are absolute master's at camouflage.

The intelligence they show on picking their perch locations while they hunt is amazing, utilizing their cryptic plumage which easily blends into wooded backgrounds.

Lucky again tonight to get to capture what's quickly become one of my favorite animals.

I've been all over the place with my captures this week from the usual birds to dabbling in macro photography.

It's a great time of year to capture a lot of unique happenings just outside our door.

Daisy was all energy for a pet photo shoot.

Her favorite toys and treats were all that were needed to direct the action.
