When what to my wondering eyes did appear?? one of the Screech Owls that live in our oak. We hear them but never see them. I run in the door, grab the camera and hubby yells What is out there?
OWL she screeches, not the owl but ME Alas! it is to dark, he is to small, so I flash him one time and watch until he flies away right over my head.
Oh, well, can't get the Owl let's see what the Poincana looks like being Flashed in the Dark with the external thingy..... you know the rest of this story.

I was hoping the owl was what happened next. You got him, nice shot. The Poincana is gorgeous, it's not a flower we see here. I love to see them.
ReplyDeleteThat's a first.I would love to see one here "screech owl" I've never seen one.
ReplyDeleteI never get tired of seeing the flowers in your yard. I love the jokes LOL
Glad you got a shot of any kind of the little screecher. Your flowers look like they were showing off for the camera. And a little shel Silverstein does lighten things up.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Sandra!
That owl is tiny,but at least you got him.
ReplyDeleteNever bored with your gorgeous photos! Nice
ReplyDeleteYou are a scream, I wonder what that poor bird thought that flash was? I hope you dont run across something more dangerous in the dark.....you know the things that go bump in the night....
ReplyDeleteOH! If you have neighbors close by, I bet they think the flash is heat lightneing.
Yesterday I left a comment on a blog that I thought was your blog. I don't know how I clicked on it. You are in my blogroll so I must have been on yours but clicked on one of your commenters. I left a kinda funny, kinda snarky comment and realized it was the wrong blog as my finger hit "enter". So, if you find any of your "people" scratching their heads--it was me!
ReplyDeleteOne has to wonder what that poor owl was thinking after he quietly settled in for the night on a comfortable looking tree branch. He's probably scratching his head for sure.
Best,
Bonnie
I love owls. Those great big eyes. They are tantilizing!
ReplyDeleteYou got a good picture of the owl. You've become quite expert at shooting in the dark with that 'external thingy'.
ReplyDeleteThe blossom is a lovely shade of red!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a screech owl, much less taken a photo of one.
How cool you got to photograph the owl! Never know what you'll find out there bumping around in the dark!
ReplyDeleteA screech owl!!! I think they are the tiniest ones!! Well, at least you got one shot. I enlarged it till it wouldn't enlarge anymore, so cool!!!
ReplyDeleteOwls are so majestic aren't they? So do these screech I guess? Dumb question. Love the flowers too.
ReplyDeletesounds like my luck....love it...
ReplyDeleteCute little owl fellow. He looks tiny. How big is he? Your flowers are always beautiful and we love the jokes. Keep snapping Madsnapper!
ReplyDeleteLove ya, Madeline
Why did the tomato turn red?
