The feather textures, colours and patterns are amazing in that first photo! And love the "relative size" idea in the second photo!

That eagle owl is a wonderful bird - I would love to see one in the wild! Although I don’t think mice and rabbits would share my opinion!

Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
