thickson woods nov.20.
headed there after work this morning,and wasn,t dissapointed,as,i, spotted this beautiful owl,after a short 10 min., search.he slept through most of the photo shoot,but managed a few shots,when his eyes were open.distance was about 150 ft,with canon 40-d/500 mm lens combo. the last pic,is a pair of elk,at an elk farm,shot on the way home.
