One evening, when I came home from work, as I walked away from my car my eye was caught by a shadow moving across the front of my house, which was dark but lit from the front by a streetlight. I shivered a little, because it was slightly spooky (and I'd been watching Buffy on dvd), turned to go up the path and again movement caught my eye, this time on the ground. Thinking it was a dog or a cat, I walked towards the shape on the ground, and to my great surprise realized that it was this owl. As I approached, it flew up into a small tree in front of my neighbour's house. I sped inside to get my camera. This and others in this series were taken handheld, without a flash, the exposure pushed up in photoshop in postprocessing.

About Me

- I'm a College English Teacher and keen amateur photographer. I love dogs, gardening, travel and nature, and all those passions are reflected in my photos. I started on an Olympus OM1, moved to an Olympus Camedia point-and-shoot digital, which changed my photographic life, and now use a Canon Rebel XT. I'm learning more and more all the time.
