Great Horned Owl, Mother of Two, Pancho Villa State Park, Columbus NM, March 29, 2013
That's all folks
I quit. It's pretty obvious I've run out of steam.
I made my first post here on November 15, 2007 - the day I left Red Rock on this long ride. The ride continues but the it's time to retire the Journal.
I've been playing around with my photography a bit and have started a project to rebuild my old http://jhcoxon.com website into a place to show some off it off. Please come by now and then and see what I'm up to over there. Including a bit about this owl family.
Thanks for your faithful visits over the years,
John
