"It Sent Tingles Down My Spine For Hours": Owl Lands On This Photographer's Lens, Ends Up Blending In Perfectly

Photography is all about catching that perfect moment. And depending on what you’re catching, that moment might be a mere second that’s just too hard to snap because it happens so fast, or it can be an hour, but it’s an hour every fifty years or so. In any case, moments are precious because of this.

So, let's consider one such precious, once-in-a-lifetime moment: the time this one owl decided to come chill on this one wildlife photographer's photo lens. Yep, this exact thing happened to photographer Scott Dere, but thanks to the quick and tactful reflexes of photographer Beaumon Day, we now have a photo of it! Imagine being a wildlife photographer and having the wildlife come to you like this? Photographers Beaumon Day, with whom Bored Panda got in touch, Brooke Bartleson, and Arthur Lefo were out in the wild looking to snap some pictures of great gray owls. The gang had just spent 2 hours hiking in the woods with no luck when they met Scott Dere of The Element of Nature, who was also out owlspotting.
