looking to the sky
in the tree and way up high
wondering
where do owls reside
in the branches they do hide
and spy
upon all that lay
and stride
upon the earth
in the tree and way up high
wondering
where do owls reside
in the branches they do hide
and spy
upon all that lay
and stride
upon the earth
until they glide

ReplyDeleteTammie,
ReplyDeletein your vast travels, have you hear about owls? The Chinese and the Maoris are thousands of miles apart, but they believe the same thing. Not Nice.
Mega-beautiful! one of my fave creatures..you have captured this spirit brilliantly both in your photos and in words! Happy E-Day!!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Kiki~
Oh wonderful. They're so difficult to spot.
ReplyDeleteAn amazing piece of work. You were lucky to capture these great shots of the owl. They tend to sense we are around and fly off.
ReplyDeleteHoly Owly! Häbbie örth-dei folks;-)
ReplyDeleteI love owls...we have one somewhere on the back of our property I hear him at night but haven't been able to capture ...those are great photos..and I enjoyed your poem..
ReplyDeleteWonderful post and great representative for earth day.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a nice weekend.
Great photos and I like the owl very much! :)
ReplyDeleteWOW what an awesome photo. He is looking right at ya. Too bad the owl isn't into focus perfectly, it would have made it even better. I love it none the less.
ReplyDeleteTammie, I knew you would post something breathtaking in honor of Earth Day. Am I disappointed? NO!
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful photo and post for Earth Day. I love Owls!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous owl!!! How majestic they are. What a fittingly beautiful tribute to Earth Day (sorry to celebrate it with you a day late).
ReplyDelete:) Theresa
Stunning photos! Such a surprise to see the owl. And beautifully poetic post, Tammie. ~ Angela
ReplyDeleteamazing pics dear:)...
ReplyDeleteOwls: harbingers of bad luck, ill health, or death.
ReplyDeleteHi Tammie,
In the 3 cultures I have lived with, Owls are in Malays, Hantu Birds. Hantu meaning ghost.
My own experience, I was going to keep this in my book, but I am sharing it with us.
Mum was pregnant with number 6. Maternal Grandma had come to visit. An Owl came in the evening, we were very excited, and got Dad to catch it. Dad had spent a few years in England and did not believe in this, but grand ma made dad release it. and even went on and on why Dad had received all those Westerne Education and became stupid.
Dad relesed the owl to pacify her.
We were not even allowed to mention this WHY? Why?
years later, I had a discussion with Dad, he said, my big bro had a small cleft lip, and there was plenty of supersistion. He didn't want History to repeat.
Sorry I didn't proof read the comment, and there were so many typo mistakes.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit Tammie.
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are simply wonderful!
I almost miss the owl, he seems to blend in well with the tree branches
ReplyDeletehappy earth day to you!
& thanks for your visit
I adore owls, Tammie. Such enchanting pictures and words, to celebrate our magical time on Gaia. Much love and bright wishes. xx
ReplyDeleteWell spotted and a great shot xo
ReplyDeleteI think that Nature gives you special access, Tammie - perhaps your love of the Earth is the reason. I have never seen an owl in the wild. Thank you for these wonderful glimpses of an owl's world.
ReplyDeleteSuch piercing eyes...love it!
ReplyDeleteOOH! This was quite thrilling to see, like I stumbled upon something unexpected and exciting! WOW, the way he is staring at the camera.....!
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Earth Day! It's been quite some time since I've visited but I've enjoyed catching up in my reader this morning. Thanks for making the whole post available in your feeds. What wonderful photos and poetry you've shared! I'm reminded it's been a long time since I've participated in OSI ... and hope to join the poetic process soon though I'm not sure when that will be.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
what majestic creatures! love the photos and poem - happy (belated) earth day! actually, shouldn't every day be earth day? cheers, JP/deb
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Earth Day, Tammie!
ReplyDeleteOh Wow, such a lovely owl for Earth Day.:)
How lucky to be able to take such great photos. The owl is looking right at you... What an intense stare he has!
I love his fluffy ears. I can hear owls hooting every night outside my bedroom window. I bet you can too, where you live.
I am really glad I did not miss this beautiful post.
Love and hugs,
Jo. x:)
P.S. Thank you for your lovely messages on Facebook!
What an amazing creature to capture with your camera! How incredible to see him or her up close!

ReplyDeleteHappy Earth Day to you too :)
ReplyDeletea pure relationship with the earth...that we keep her safe and sound.
ReplyDeleteThe owl...ohmai...

yvette
There is something about owls that mesmerize. Maybe because they are quite elusive. Your poetry captures the essence your photo's depict. Stories of life and heart are both... Happy Earth Day! Every Day needs to be Earth Day as we need to care for her, cherish her, and heal her. Blessings to you and yours. Love and Light, Nina P
ReplyDeleteLove the color palette...and how the owl seems to be looking through at yoo in the first shot...cool!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy earth day to you too.. xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! And, in the daytime, no less. Love the eye contact.
ReplyDeleteHe looks like he's having a very happy Earth day! Now if we could all only be as wise as that old owl...
ReplyDeleteLovely to be back and 'seeing' you ;-)
xx
Tammie if I ever saw an owl I think I would pass out from joy! you are so lucky! I have drawn so many of them in my ACEOs, yet have never seen one in person.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog. If you are looking to buy colored pencils, the Prismacolor Premier's are the favorite ones among artists. You can't go wrong with these, they are gorgeous to work with. I've tried a couple of Polychromos which are lovely too, but I haven't used enough of those to really say.
There are lots of good quality ones, just avoid the ones for students :-D
xoxo
betty
