An owl at first glance...
At the Laura Quinn bird sanctuary in Florida, I was leaning in for a closer shot when all of a sudden this happened…
A wise old owl winks...
A wise old owl indeed! A cheeky one, more like…
These photos form part of Photo Friday on Delicious Baby, a collection of travel shots from around the world.
I visited Florida as a guest of Virgin Holidays, who fly direct to Miami from London Heathrow. See the sexy disclosure policy.
Really?? Great capture!

Ha ha ha! So great. That owl has a taste for the ladies I guess.
How’d you get so close? I thought owls were kinda’ bashful. Beautiful though.
This owl was in a sanctuary for injured animals…so, I’m not sure whether they grew accustomed to human presence from that…or whether I was just lucky!
That’s cool! And cheeky. I’d like to know how close you were too … or was it just a really great zoom?
Hehe. Both. I was about two metres away, I’d guess…
What a great/lucky shot!
Thanks! Luck always plays a part, doesn’t it?
Aww thats adorable!
Love it! Gorgeous photo of the owl and perfect capture!
Thanks @sarah & @Shirlene. If only I’d thought to wink back…
