Frosty Mornings, and a Visit From a Wise Old Friend

The thermometer reads -2 degrees as I write this.  We have certainly been in the midst of some downright frosty weather as of late, but we were delighted by a recent visit from one of our favorite feathered residents.   I will never forget the day last summer, a low fog hung in the air late one afternoon.  The dog and I walked along the old logging road in the damp fog of the woods.  As the sun began to shine through the low clouds, we saw this beautiful Barred Owl, gliding low enough for me to fully appreciate his grace and beauty.  What I would have done for a camera that day!!
