As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

    Were you looking for the painted bunting when you photographed the owl? I took a photo of the same owl sculpture last week.

      Yes, I did see it that day, my first visit to the bunting. More recently, taking some other folks to see the celebrity, I photographed the owl again, but found the even light then not as interesting as the shadow cast on this image. Tried to find out more about these sadly decayed sculptures, which I’m pretty sure I knew something about in the past (memory!), but didn’t spend too much time on it.
