Well, if you know me, the biggest surprise would be that I’m posting about my birthday at the end of May, because my birthday is in the middle of April!! But we were away over vacation, and then it rained for like a month, and I couldn’t get good pictures… But, anyway… Here is a picture of one of my favorite birthday gifts…
Isn’t he just the cutest garden ornament you’ve ever seen??? He was a gift from my wonderful in-laws because they know I have a “thing” with owls… And, the biggest reason that I have a thing for owls is THIS little guy…
My new garden owl now lives about 5 feet away from the tree that “our” owl lives in… We’ve had an owl before… Here’s a post with last year’s owl… and then there was the first owl in 2008… Clearly this is a different owl :) but this one has been back a couple of times… he was here in the fall and through the winter we saw him almost every evening and morning… Then he went away for a month or so, and came back! We haven’t seen him for a couple weeks, but in the evenings we can hear him… And also, we can hear another owl calling back to him! Wouldn’t it be cool if we had a baby owl in our tree??? Yes! Yes, that would be very cool!! Here’s some more pictures ’cause I can’t help myself! (you can click on the pictures to make them bigger…) I have a brand new zoom lens on its way to me… so hopefully the owl will come back so I can get MORE even better pictures :)

and one more view from a little further away…
and…my little buddy sleeping… I think we bore him :)
