    How did you get close enough to an owl in broad daylight to catch it with a 135mm lens!?! that is a great shot.

    (zoo or something like that?)
    Since 2004...

    Nice series BK and welcome to Dgrin wave.gif

    Love the owl (too bad you clipped his wing :-( But, the one that really got me was the side shot of the Harrier (aircraft not bird....lol). Where the heck were you when you took that? On a hill and he was crusing the valley? Or,were you in another plane chasing him ;-)

    Either way, I like that perspective alot. It almost looks like the pilot is staring back at you....Laughing.gif

    Good work and I hope to see more of it posted,
