Spooky Old Owl

Just listed on ebay is this watercolor owl. I live waaaaaay out in the country and in the eucalyptus trees behind my house I have a nesting pair of great horned owls. This last year they hatched a chick. A very large chick. One day he got a little disoriented and flew into my bedroom window! Thankfully owl and window were not harmed but he was a huge baby and sat for a while getting himself together. Time enough for me to grab my camera and walk right up within arm's length and take some pics. When he flew back to mamma his wingspan was impressive.
