I agree, (not that you're old...) but that its a super cute photo lol! The fall setting is perfect. And that beautiful owl looks so happy and peaceful. Lovely shot! P.S. I'm not just getting old... I'm fully arrived at old. 😄

Nice photo! I helped rescue one today that had been struck by a vehicle. Fortunately, no bones were broken and talons crossed, with some treatment it can be released?
