Owl in Taranaki, New Zealand

owl 703020

We walked across a lush green pasture where cows eyed us as we avoided their pies on the trail. The Maori Pa was a fort located in a glen near the banks of a winding stream. Up in the trees, I caught the unblinking eyes of this owl. I shot too many photos, 99 percent of which were the classic digital blur. But this one with photoshop, just works. This forest was in Taranaki, the bulb that sticks out of the western side of the North Island.
