It started out as a potential B&W and I thought what would black on black turn out like - you know, the opposite of white on white which results in beautiful photos from some people!
My little black owl, however stood fast with his golden eyes and dared me to turn him B&W! Good on the black.
Three good things:
1. I just love humorous comments - take note all those followers who are just polite! Say what first comes into your mind - I do!
2. Watching some beautiful cloud formations change so quickly at sunset, we thought we should complain - I said, to who - and the answer had to be He who Organises Everything!
3. A skype to two exhausted ‘older first parents”, our son and DIL in Canada. We were taken into the hallowed room where she sleeps under strict instructions not to TALK! John couldn’t help himself - he softly said, Oh bebe bebe!
He's a cute little owl, and I like the fact that you let him keep his golden eyes. I'm also glad you get to see your new granddaughter through Skype. My oldest, and still one of my very best friends has a grandson (the first grandchild) expected in Madrid, Spain, next month. They will be going there for bit, but I know Skype will be heavily used before and after the visit.
This is one of those fake owls to keep the birds away, yes? The other night (early evening) I was out walking the dog and heard hooting. I so wanted to see the owl. LOVE them!!! Haven't seen many in the wild. Maybe only 2.
One of the first lessons new parents should learn is to make as much noise as they like around the new baby. When we visited our new grandson five years ago,it was a nightmare as we had to be really quiet......everything was sh sh ! The last one sleeps through any noise at all which is a relief to all concerned! Good job they don't read your page!! Ha ha! Is this a real owl or one with solar eyes?
@happypat I do agree but they are new parents - and you can understand that when the baby is sleeping they can breath a sigh of relief and don't want it to wake up!. Not a real owl but a tiny ornament. I used the camera settings to turn it into night!
Looks,a bit scary sitting there waiting to pounce on it's prey! Very clever turning the day into night! Skype is wonderful to be able to talk to your overseas family and at least see them - even if you do have to whisper!
My opinion is that this would not look as good in B/W!! I love those spooky eyes and he almost looks blue on the black!! Perfect for Halloween!!! I nearly always say what I first think and sometimes I get in trouble for it!! LOL Oh bebe!!! How cute!! FAV!!
Haha - hope the bebe didn't wake up! NIce owl but I am prejudiced against them because my neighbours had a model owl that would hoot unexpectedly at me when I went in to feed the cats. Frightened me to death repeatedly.
I love the way you captured this Maggie Looks as though he needs surgery for a squint though or spectacles at the very least. I get into trouble for 'saying it as it is' which is, I think, a polite way of saying I'm lacking in tact!!
#2 I'm not sure I would be telling Him how to run his universe! ;~}
