Owl Pond at Night

Posted by Troy Parla,

This is one of my early attempts at capturing what the night looks like under little more than starlight.



You will hear little more than insects, frogs and maybe a Coyote or Owl in the distance.  



Of course, on this night I could hear something walking directly between where I was to take this picture and the 200 feet to the cabin.

And I could not see a thing.  

I heard it breathe on occasion.  So I forced my mind into believing it was "just a deer".

But we have had bear, coyote and bobcat show up on the trail cams.  So I was glad when it finally passed.



I have added a photo of the pond I had taken during in daylight 2 days earlier, simply for reference.
