Picture Perfect

My friend and fabulous photographer Shaun said the other day that he's spent so much time and gas in the last month driving around looking for a snowy owl to photograph. It seems they are hanging out on the south shore but not venturing up here to the cold and snowy northwest.
Despite his failure to find a snowy owl, he did manage to find something to shoot.
Personally, thanks to their sudden proliferation in this province, we've seen lots of photos of snowy owls. Now, this fella in the tree, that's not something we get to see every day.
