Here are some shots Dad took of me and Peter. The horse kept knocking my hat off, they were very friendly. Dad said Peter was having a moment, not sure what that meant :biglaugh:

To begin with, an old buzzard like me have never seen a baby owl, so, congrats Mitchell. Nice shots.
Does your Dad have moments like Peter too? hehe.
You don't look too shabby either, handholding that lens.

Wonderful series Mitchell. Peter and the horse are sharing a special moment, only they know what's being said. The last one belongs on the wall.

Nice shots Mitchell! When a horse knocks your hat off it means he likes you. Or he wants to eat your hat. I don't know which is right.:)

WTG, Mitchell. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
Love the owl shots, the first one especially. Have never seen an owl up close, never mind having the opportunity to take its picture. That's so cool!

It sounds like you had a lot fun! Good job, I like the way the owls are so intent in the 2nd one. That last one you'll treasure the rest of your life. :)

One of my favourite photographers is back posting. Great work Mitchell. Did Peter ever tell you what the horse said to him? I agree with others. The last shot should be framed and hanging in your room. Ten years from now you will love it.

Wow, Mitchell, these are just great! That last shot is a classic....I think the horse wants to take a bite out of that BIG lens you are using ;)

Great shots Mitchell! But I have to say that last one is really special. What a great keepsake shot!
P.S. Turn that brim around so you get some sun on your forehead. I only notice these things from livin in Florida and seeing all the tourists who turn interesting shades of red not being use to the strong Florida sun. ;) (Just teasin ya)

You did great Mitchell. I have never even seen an owl and there you are at such a young age, taking wonderful pictures of them. Keep up the good work.
