After the funeral today I headed to the beach, ignoring deadlines and everything else to take in some nature. I found a snowy owl on my first pass and kept creeping in closer until I got this shot. It's still not perfect, but that's the way life goes. I was very happy to see him and focus on something so beautiful.
My friend at the Cape just photographed one last weekend. They are gorgeous! You were lucky if you were on your own because she had lots of other people trying to get a shot as well. It's nice that it was a little distraction for you.
