From Jerry Chinn

My cell phone rang. It was my wife, Tori. "Come downstairs quietly with your camera’ she said. She was in her backyard garden, and as approached, she motioned to come over to the fence. Pointing low down to the tree just on the other side of the fence was this owl… probably the same one photographed on the ground the other day. So, there was a great horned owl in a tree, no more than 25 feet away. Amazingly, he just continued to look at us as I fired off several shots. Only when I moved around to try to get a different angled shot did he fly off.

Below are the photos mentioned from the other day.

      It looks happy enjoying the sunshine.

      I’m feeling pretty good today. Less sick, less mopey. Work may be weird today, too early to tell, but I have piano class tonight and that always makes me happy.

        It does! I’m glad you’re feeling better. I feel stiff. I could’ve slept a bit longer, but didn’t and should have been up by now, to avoid extra aches. But I’m getting up now, so I expect after getting moving, some will wear off. I’ll mask up before going out, just in case.
