There is Magic in the Air!

Sunrise and sunset are my two favourite times of the day although I am not always very good about getting up to see the sunrise :)


Sunset however I can manage! And this one seemed to be particularly spellbinding. Add to it, four Great-horned Owls calling back and forth across my yard and I wouldn't have been at all surprised to see Harry Potter strolling up my driveway!


And just when I thought things couldn't get anymore magical I noticed the moon. The slenderest of crescents lying on its back.

    Truly a magical series -- the owl on the cactus is amazing -- but every picture is perfect. I love this!!

    I am sooo jealous of your great-horned owl shot! We have a pair that nest south of here but I have never gotten a clear shot!

    These shots are amazing - especially the owl! (This is some backyard!)

    Thanks Eileeninmd. I love having owls around but it is a rare treat to see them in the open like that.

    EGCameraGirl, I hear the owls frequently but very rarely see them it was just a case of random luck, being in the right place at the right time.
