We, are not amused!

Posted by MaryB (Staffordshire, United Kingdom) on 27 June 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

This was taken at an Owl sanctuary in Wales, they had Owls of every discription. I just love the expression on the face of the Owl on the left! I don't think that she was very happy about having her photograph taken :)

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States

Owls, like many cats -- their expressive eyes just can't help but reveal their disdain for the common paparazzi when the cameras show up. Great capture here!
