Superb Owl Sunday

Posted on February 9, 2025 by Mary Beth Frezon

I was just sitting watching some folks online talk about the state of the world when I heard… SOMETHING. I paused the video to verify it wasn’t coming from the computer and no! I RAN out of the house, grabbing a sweater, went out the garage-side door and stood listening and looking in the general direction the sound had come from and saw this. (click photo for video). Eventually the owl flew off to join its mate in a tree near the next house and then they flew off together.

A barred owl sits in a group of trees, center top third of the image.

After that, what else could happen? Not much. So I fiddled around having a little dinner while the four young deer stopped by to scarf up birdseed.

I read some more news stuff and then I sat down and painted this:

Watercolor painting: winter landscape scene of gentle pink and yellow sunset with dark gray clouds and light horizon. In foreground a plowed path cuts diagonally past some shrugs to a group of dark red buildings at left. Beyond the buildings, a dark hill with scattered bits of sky and snow popping through. The buildings have snow on the roofs and the snow looks new and blue-ish color in the fading light.
