    Default Snowy Owl Hallucination

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    A hallucination is a perception in the absence of apparent stimulus that has qualities of real perception.

    I spent so much time looking for Snowy Owls today that I began seeing things.... Really. Canon 600 II, 2X III TC, and 1D X. Jones Beach State Park, LI, NY.

    Don't be shy; all comments welcome :)

    I'd rather see the real thing, but this comes in a close second. Clever idea.

    Hi Arthur, killer fun! Made me chuckle...it is a cool ice sculpture...I have three snowy owls hanging out on farm fields around my home, but just can't seem to find them in the right spot. Will probably need to head down towards Toronto along the lake for better luck.

    Oh Yeah.... Been there.... Is that a Golden Eagle, its huge, let it be let it be......... oh just another Red Tail...... wait re-think there is never just another red tail they are spectacular too.

    My Mom really gets into it, something in that tree, no that tree, no over there..... usually clumps of mistletoe.

    Glad to see you use your hallucination into humor, very fun.
