Remember this little fellow I found back in 2016? The link to that post can be found here. 

Well, I've got some neat news to share with you. I finally got the software to edit my videos, and on the day I took this barred owl's photograph, I also took video of him too.

In this video, you can see him peacefully resting under a tree.

In this YouTube video, I talk during the video explaining how the Lord helped me find the barred owl.

At Rest

"At Rest"

Recently, I had the privilege of standing about 15 feet away from this beautiful barred owl for over three hours. He was tired from a long night of hunting and enjoyed resting in this small tree.

I did not just walk up and find him. One thing led to another.

I went to the garden to photograph objects using a long shutter speed, but I heard a new bird call and set out to find it. Looking for the bird led me to a cute chipmunk to photograph.

A flash of motion in the distance caught my eye. It was the barred owl that then became my new subject to photograph.

As I have mentioned before, I pray before I go out to shoot and ask the Lord to show me or bring to me what He wants me to photograph. I am amazed at the beautiful creatures and delightful things in nature He allows me to photograph!
