I like to document natural events in my photo journal. Two days ago a brief warm spell had melted much of our snow, to the point that bare ground was attracting hungry deer, turkeys and many species of birds.
Snowy Owl on March 11, 2014
Abruptly, a nasty, unwelcome winter storm arrived, bringing frigid temperatures, sub-zero wind chills and 10 inches of snow. Brrrrr. And spring is just a week away!!!!

My hubby used to call them guys in the second shot “slow elk”… 🙂
Love your ‘Farm’ picture above. It depicts a sense of winter weather so well. I think everything is so beautiful in (fresh) snow!
Thanks Denise. I value your input. I had little control over the composition of that shot, and the blizzard was an added challenge (at one point I could barely see the trees in a white-out). But, I saw it every time I went searching for snowy owls, and had to include that “sense of winter” in my story!!
