Sunrise/old barns & Snowy Owls...

[Catmendo]

A predawn rise out from beneath the sheets and then out the door headed for the south west portion of Lake Winnipeg. Here's the results.

First a little pre-sunrise. I decided to walk into the frame in order to give the image a bit of a different twist.

After shooting a series on the sunrise, I headed approximately ten miles west of the lake in search of old barns and snowy's. First a couple of old barns.

Followed by a little sense of humor in this sign that I stumbled upon.

Then my first snowy of the season...a good looking male specimen.

Several miles off in another direction and I came across this beautiful female snowy!

If this is any indication between chasing "greenbacks" on Lake Winnipeg and searching for owls in my spare time, I think I'm going to be enjoying myself "again" this winter!

Sweet work Stu. Good on all of them, with the shadow Stu and the owls my faves!

Another excellent series Stu! I love the owls, especially since I've never seen a snowy with my own eyes...

Those white parkas look pretty warm Stuart! Looked that they were giving you the sleepy eyed, "You woke me up for this!"
