Not that long ago I shared the stories and some photos of the little owl family keeping me awake every night on the check-in thread.
:owl:
I think they finally moved on, I’ve seen the owls around, but they’ve definitely calmed down.
My neighbour does wildlife photography as a (serious) hobby and shared these pics with me.

Summer means insect hunting with my son. He is 15 and still likes to go.

They are so small. Probably only days old. When I first saw them at a distance I thought they were dogs in the road. Didn’t see momma. I hope they are not orphans.


Playing in traffic with no adult supervision reminds me of my childhood.

OMG! so tiny and cute. Glad you were able to capture them before they ran off.

Made me chuckle and so true about our childhoods. We turned out alright so I hope they will stay safe as well.

It was right off the trail!! Before I came upon it I saw something run across and I thought it was a cat but as I got closer I realized it was a fox so I started to walk to not scare them.

Rolled up and caught this crazy shit. WTF? Just some llamas running around in the road.




Of course it stopped traffic and a couple of guys chased them down. They got free from a farm up the road. Yes they are somebody’s pets, but for that few moments they were WILD and FREE!

A Praying Mantis.
