Matching Slippers

Matching Slippers

Well you have to admit this guy’s footwear matches his feathery coat. This is a juvenile Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus). When he is mature, he will have almost pure white plumage. Female Snowys have black bars (so this fella must be feeling a bit of a pansy at the moment!) ;o)

    Exquisite capture! A fave :)

  • Krys Bailey replied

    Thanks Cheryl! These critters are quite good models – being white, they even look OK in the dark enclosures they’re often kept in.

    Oh, you really crack my up with your wonderful titles and descriptions! What an exquisite bird – I love the sheepish-looking expression in his eyes….... It’s probably more to do with an “Oh no, not again!” thought, as he watched you point your camera in his direction…...

  • Krys Bailey replied

    Thanks Elaine! Actually this guy lives with a female who has a permanent squint and often copies her squint – I was lucky this wasn’t one of those occasions! ;o)

    first as always the detail is wonderful, and the claws, now matter how much you want to cover them with lovely soft white fluffy feathers, ouch…

  • Krys Bailey replied

    Thanks Roslyn! With claws like that, I bet he’s useless on a keyboard!!! ;o)

  • Bonnie T. Barry

    Bonnie T. Barry

    Krys, I read your reply to Roslyn’s comment and I’ve got the giggles just thinking about Mr. Owl on a keyboard! Your humor definitely adds that wondrous element of delight in your photography; thanks for your incomparable titles, descriptions, and that phenomenal ability to capture those serendipity moments in your wildlife shots. You’re a champ!

  • Krys Bailey replied

    I’m so pleased somebody appreciates my silliness, Bonnie!!! It is always such a pleasure to share it and my photos with you all! ;o) I was just thinking this morning how I am blessed with so many photos that I am able to pick and choose the most “interesting” shots of critters! Many thanks from you, Queen of the Songbirds! ;o) x

    A wonderful detailed portrait of this juvenile Snowy Owl Krys and I had to smile at that title, you handled the exposure perfectly with very good tones on those tricky white feathers, well captured and documented as always,
    Regards, Rod.

  • Krys Bailey replied

    Thanks Rod! Fortunately (or not), these owls are in a dark enclosure so blowing the whites isn’t easy to do! ;o)
