Wordless Wednesday January 29, 2020


Great Horned Owl
I've been reading the book
"One Man's Owl" by Bernd Heinrich.
It's a thoughtful book and I highly recommend it.
Here is a quote from his book that really
resonates with how I feel about nature:
" I feel a strong identity with the world of living 
things. I was born into it; we all were. But we
may not feel the ties unless we gain intimacy by
seeing, feeling, smelling, touching, and studying
the natural world. Trying to live in harmony with
the dictates of nature is probably as inspirational
as living in harmony with the Koran or the Bible.
Perhaps it is also a timely undertaking."   
Have a lovely day.

  1. Kathe,

    There hasn't been too many opportunities where I've seen an owl up close. That would be an awesome thing to see and to photograph. Did you make the video or just borrow it from YT? Thanks for joining me today for WildWednesdays!

  4. Really enjoyed the video. Owls are fascinating creatures. I must admit that they frighten me a little. I have no idea why.

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
