I’ve had such a lovely day. I met Tess for the first time. We’ve chatted on the OU forums, Facebook and (recently) Second Life. We seemed to have so much in common - write poetry, sense of humour, similar personalities, religion, nature, as well has having similar family histories. Well Tess came to my house today and we found we really did get on in Real Life. We both had cameras (another thing in common) but were so busy talking we forgot to take any photos.

Then this evening I had my camera club and we went to this wonderful land owned by a man who manages it for wild life. Two bird handlers were brought in and we took lots of piccies. The owl below was tame, but I went off on my own and found a ‘real’ barn owl. Unfortunately, although it was near me it was flying too fast for sharp pictures.
