30 in 30: Day 10 - Animal
As it happens, I don't have too many animals parading around my house in anticipation of having their photo taken, so for today's challenge I went digging in the archives and found this photo of an owl that I took in England this summer:
Lest you be of the impression that England is teeming with woodland creatures just aching for a photo op, or that I am even remotely decent with a camera, let me assure you that this was taken at Paradise Park, a wildlife sanctuary in Cornwall. I literally looked up, and there it was. Espen fell deeply in love with owls that day, and brought a little toy one home with him, thanks to some pocket money from his great-granny. He will still happily inform you that an owl says "hoo-hoo" if you ask him. I love how much he loves animals, and hope that he will keep that love with him as he grows older.
He/she is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love how children become obsessed with new things. I love that Espen is obsessed with owls. Tell him "hoo hoo" for me!
ReplyDeleteI want to believe it is teeming with wild animals, actually. If you ever need an animal to photograph Ellie is a willing subject (albeit not nearly as interesting as the owl), and your cute kiddo is welcome to play with her anytime :)!
