Owls ~ Hiding in Plain Sight

March 31, 2016 by still a dreamer

Among the many wonders of nature, I find camouflage one of the most fascinating. Below are photographs of owls who quite literally disappear into the trees behind them. If viewed from enough of a distance, it is practically impossible to even see them.

If you can find the owl easily, move further away from your computer/device until it is hard to spot her, and then view the rest.

I cannot take credit for these wonderful photos; they were sent to me in an e-mail and were collected, I assume, from around the web with no photographer given credit. I just prepped them for my blog, hoping you would appreciate them as much as I. Whoever the photographers are, thank you for sharing these amazing images online.

We live in an amazing world. Sometimes it’s easy to see just how amazing it is.
Sometimes we have to look just a little harder.

    And Jeanne, I am proud to announce that the bluebird pair chose my yard box this spring, and yesterday there were four precious blue eggs and mama began incubation!

        I am excited. BB have not nested here in two years! Back to buying expensive live mealworms! 😉

  I was blown away as well – had to share. Despite all the turmoil in this world, there is still so much cause for wonder.
