Heather's Wedding

Here are pictures from Heather's Wedding.  Heather was beautiful!  Even though it was a cool and windy day it was still a nice weeding. 

You can click on a picture for a larger view.  You should also be able to right click on a picture and click on save to save it to your computer.  The pictures inside the tent and the cake cutting didn't come out very good (I need a better camera!) so there are not as many of them.  Sorry!

Baby Barred Owl

The neighbors called at 8am this morning to tell me there was a baby owl in their front yard and he looked like he might be hurt.  So, I went and took a look.  He seemed sort of stunned and I could only see one foot, so I wasn't sure what was going on. 














 I figured one or both of the parents couldn't be far away.  All I had to do was listen for the other birds that were pretty upset that the owls were here.  Right overhead, I saw one of the parents trying to keep an eye on the baby while dodging two big crows that were harassing it.














With a parent near by, I figured nature would take care of things.  So, I went back inside to eat breakfast.  About an hour later I looked out the window and didn't see the baby.  I went out to see where it went and saw the parent still in the tree but the baby had gone across the street and was walking/hopping down the sidewalk. 


















The neighbors in that area roped off the sidewalk and put up a sign saying "Baby Owl Learning to Fly. Please Use Other Sidewalk".  I checked again later and didn't see the baby owl.  I'm hoping it figured out how to use those wings and get back up in the tree.
