While walking this morning at Stage Fort Park with Elynn Kroger, we encountered this beautiful snowy owl. A little later, I ran into Peggy Russell from Pop Gallery, who also had seen him, but hadn’t been able to get a shot of him. This is for you Peggy. Merry Christmas. What a special treat on Christmas morning.
Of course it never fails that I encounter something magical when I carry my chumpy little pocket camera. I wish I’d brought the nice one Paul Frontiero gave me, as I had originally intended. Lesson. Never second-guess your first impulse.

Merry Christmas Paul. Yes, they are mystical, magical creatures, and it was a special treat to see a snowy owl on Christmas morning. I posted it for Peggy, but maybe it was Paul wishing you a Merry Christmas and was really meant for you.

Beauty caught no matter what the medium – remember the popular Wise potatoe chips we loved so much as kids along with learners root beer watch the old black and white horror movies Creepy Creature Feature and Chill-O-rama…Grocery started Mr. Wise back in 1921 and became ever so popular snack in 50’s-60’s…Thanks 🙂

Since that day I’ve been on the lookout for another snowy owl, but have had no luck, so that was a very special Christmas morning encounter. I have to pop into Pop Gallery again one day soon and say hi, since you’re probably easier to catch than a snowy owl!
