Snowy Owl taking Flight

This is a snowy owl just prior to taking flight, the bright sun made it a challenge to keep the detail in his face.

Thanks so much for your comments and favs on yesterday's Sunset, much appreciated!

I have always had a soft spot for snowy owls..actually any owls. When I was little we had a nieghbour who had a pet owl. My brother used to make it go crazy as he ran up and down the cage...was a wonderful owl though

Great timing! You can see the energy he's pushing into those legs to give him lift. I think Snowy Owls are so beautiful. Might get to photograph one, one of these days as a friend in camera club knows where a nest is.
