❤️❤️❤️❤️For the first time ever, yesterday we saw these owls flying over fields, about 60 miles north of Seattle. They are about the size of a crow. My husband got a video. Many people lined the sides of the country road. Beautiful and golden with black marks under wings, as the fly at dusk onemightmistake them for a harrier. She sat for photos, watching and calling, then took off. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

A Love Forboding
The chipped stone slope caused unbearable footing. I slid, skirting on my heels. I cast my shield, relinquishing my guard to stay upright. Left with my double-edge and a prayer to the maker, I skated toward my objective. The earthly stubble gave way to solid ground. I found myself restored, a trail of dust in my wake.
