Her name was Magic

[scooter2044]

Spent some time in one of the state parks last weekend. We stopped in at the park office and they were starting a presentation on the Great Horned Owl. They brought out a rehabilitated owl that had been with them for 22 years because she couldn't be let go. Her name was Magic, and she was very grumpy. But she was beautiful.

I love these! The purplish sky makes it very mystical. They remind me of something you would see in a Harry Potter movie.

I love the notion of the grumpy owl - she is too pretty to be grumpy! Nice work.

That was actually the wall behind the owl. On the left and right behind her were all kinds of stuffed birds on display. No wonder she was grumpy. She kept turning around and seeing all those other birds.
