Just thought I'd share a wild little blessing, God allowed me last night, with you all.  A burrowing owl in the wild.  For the full story, see my photo blog at http://shotsnthoughts.blogspot.com/

Ya can't fool me... he's not in a burrow!   

Nice shot!

Alright, here's one for those of you who don't want to click on the link to see more photos and read more. 

Here he is by his burrow, gjtoth!  Okay, so he's still not in it. 

Thanks. 

Simply amazing, Kathleen.  What a Creator we have!

Thanks, Pat!  Yes, an awesome creator indeed.

I've lately been trying to figure out why I'm daily more fascinated with birds and why I love to watch them and photograph them so much more than I used to and I think I've figured it out.  With my eyes deteriorating, some days better, some days worse.  The future and thought of going through corneal transplant surgery or going blind are quite intimidating and the birds remind me of God's Word and what it says...

"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.  Are you not much more valuable than they?  Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life."  Matthew 6:26-27     

The birds remind me of how much God loves and cares about me and how I need to trust Him with my needs and the future of my sight. 

AMEN Kathleen.  Yes, keep on shooting, your subjects don't seem to mind at all!
