Snowy Owl

I was immediately attracted to the photo that I used for this drawing because of the owl’s intense reddish orange eyes and the beautifully colorful background against the black and white of his feathers. A snowy owl, when he is perched is rather majestic, but when his wings are spread and he is gliding across the sky… Wow! Mesmerizing to watch.

I don’t want to appear to be the complainer that I really am, but I am ready to be done with rain for a week or two.
