That just happened.
Rob poked his head in the doorway while I was pumping before bed tonight and asked if he could show me something.
Um, I’m busy, dude.
He promised it was worth the break, so I hung up my flanges, threw on a hoodie and followed him outside, where he told me to be quiet.
Holy balls, there was an owl in our neighbor’s front yard. It sat, perched, and watched us watching it. I grabbed my camera and risked my eyeballs being gouged out because, DUDE.
That just happened.
(It’s weird to see a wild owl so up close and personal, right? Or do I live under an owl-free rock?)
OH MY GOD!!! That’s amazeballs. It IS weird to see them that close. Guessing a mouse might have been quaking in fear in those bushes… Seriously, that’s really freakin’ cool.
Oh how pretty!
Wow I’ve never seen an owl in person. That is crazy.
Wow…how beautiful!! I’m amazed it hung around long enough for you to take a picture! Most excellent!
Ha! I thought that was a lawn decoration at first. That is amazing.
Wow!!!! So did it have a letter for you??? 😉
Cool! I hear owls frequently in our neighborhood but have never seen one.
nice! check under the stairs this morning for the letter! 😉
I once came home from work to find an owl perched in a small evergreen tree we have. I immediately looked for my letter from Hogwart’s!
Definitely odd to see them that close. Did you search all over the yard for your letter?
ZOMG! I’ve never seen an owl up close before!! That is freaking awesome!
That’s crazy! I definitely would’ve been looking around for Dumbledore or McGonagall.
So cool!! I want an owl friend watching over me! He’d feel at home with all the owl stuff inside. Send him my way k?
I always had you pegged as a witch!
AWESOME picture! I love how so much of the picture is blurred and out of focus… but the owl seems to be PERFECTLY crisp. Rockin’!
WHOA. WHOA. WHOA.
Does this mean the babies are going to Hogwarts? Surely that owl’s from McGonagall checking up on your awesome tots?
Tell Errol he forgot mine as well. I used to see owls up close all the time in Colorado and Oklahoma, and the boonies of France out here, too.

Awesome! I think I would have freaked out a bit though…owls have always put me a bit on edge…I’m not sure why.
I was going to say you lived under an Owl rock, but everyone else seems to have also… lol
That is seriously the coolest photo ever. Until I read the post, I thought it was a lawn ornament. The fact that it’s alive makes it 10 times cooler
i’ve HEARD them countless times outside my window but failed to see one…that is such a cool picture!!
Love it!
Also, did you check the fireplace? He probably dropped your letter down the chimney.
Sweet cool better get ready for hogwarts good to know its been rebuilt.;)
Wow, that is a beautiful picture! We hear owl hooting all the time but never see them. How cool to catch one hanging out in your yard!
