owl stuff

so i hit an owl with my car :(

i know that sucks, but he was still alive!

we took him to an animal rescue center the next day.

here’s a picture from the iphone of the first night we had him. – tiff

i cant believe we found him on the road still.

it was around midnight so he came to stay the night with us. – jonathan

poor little guy or girl?

he had a concussion.

but the good folks at the animal rescue league fixed him up.

funny thing.

he made two friends in rehab

who all came back with him to celebrate his release into the wild. – jonathan

when we opened the crate two of the owls took off right away.  -tif

two quick for the 70-200. why did i choose that lens???  – jonathan

this guy did not…

i’m pretty sure this is actually the one that i hit,

plus he kept giving us the stink eye.  -tif

then we gave him a little push, still nothing.  -tif

a little coaxing and he was on his way.

maybe this is why i brought the 70-200…  – jonathan

hopefully they stick around so we can see them again.  -tif

what a truly unique experience.

I’m thankful that there are people out there who care enough to help

even the smallest of Gods creatures.

thank you Animal rescue league! – jonathan

jonathan was thrilled that i woke him up via camera this week.

everyone else in this house gets up at 7am! (except the dogs, they sleep all day)  -tif

february, 2010

this month started out pretty slow with all the snow.

the mini cooper has been home from school just as much as she’s been there.

now that the skies have cleared we are working alot more, but with all the time off we had some fun check it out.

snow dayz…

jan. 2010!

we are so excited about what the new year brings.

a few more wedding this month and a birthday in February!

we grabbed some hats and snapped a few of scarlett in the backyard last week.

please excuse the hair, she’s growing it out for locks of love.  It’s too long to do anything with. -coopers
