I LOVE your photo. The owl blends in so well with the tree that it looks like it has an elongated body, kind of spooky and cool at the same time. I shared it with a couple of wildlife loving friends. What would you charge me for a print?

Thanks so much for the very kind comments! This was taken in the Fabyan Forest Preserve along the Fox River in Geneva, IL.

Susan just drop me a note and I'll see if we can work something out.

Thanks!
