I was coming back from a disappointing afternoon of birding when I saw this Great Horned Owl in a distant tree. I knew I would only get one shot. The light was gone, so I used every trick in the photographer's book to get this photo. I was so excited because I see very few owls.
It is time to do the right thing . . .. Wissam Tarabichi, you had the kids half the time in Canada, you were treated fairly! Shelley and your kids deserve to be treated fairly too. Please #bringcanadianckidshome

My mom taught me to love and to laugh, to cry with a friend who is hurting, be kind and pursue truth. The legacy of a good mom lasts long after she is gone.
