Sir Charles
I made a friend.
In a ditch.
And he has the most luxurious and delightful feathered coat.
Let me tell you about Charles (yes - I named him). Cody and I just finished discovering a new to us space and while on our way home (cringing after discovering the only pothole in the road) - I spotted an owl. Just sitting there, on a fence post. I knew I needed to try and take its portrait.
I named him Charles. And Charles is magnificent (he told me himself). Charles allowed to me to take his portrait from about a foot away - and I think he rather enjoyed it!
I learned several things in this ditch, with this owl - some include:
Owls (or this owl in particular) enjoy conversations, albeit if they are one sided.
Owls do not enjoy my corny jokes, and show their displeasure by rolling their eyes and looking away
But most importantly - never pass up an opportunity to make friends with an Owl, in a ditch - you will never regret it.
