Thank you for sharing these wonderful photos! I love owls and this really made my day. Your gear is fab, too.

Fantastic pics!

Also: I feel the olive and navy is a new look I really really need to work on my gear colours!

Kaelyn, thank you. I love owls, too.

Rachy, thank you. The pants are called Nocturnal. It’s a pretty color, almost with a touch of purple.

Janet - love the bird photos and I know what you mean about not knowing if it is a good pic until later. When I am out skiing or hiking I have the same problem. I was gearing up to look into progressive prescription sport sunnies from Adlington just before the world changed. I am limping along with some broken Maui Jim sunglasses with built in readers But they don’t go hinge enough for my deteriorating close up vision.

we have snow with a little rain for the past few days. It had largely melted out on the lower elevation and south facing trails and I was able to get some nice hikes in last week. Looks like The nicer weather comes back next week - you will get toasty. Stay safe!

Karen, thank you. I have several pairs of sunglasses with readers - Oliver Peoples, RayBans, and two from Etnia Barcelona. I really like Adlington because they don’t have the same old thing. But I usually don’t take sunglasses. It’s the same thing as reading glasses - I have to figure out where to put them. And wearing sunglasses defeats the binoculars, anyway, making everything dark.

Perfectly attired for birding! You look great and right in your element. I love the baby owls, thanks for sharing.
