"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.

"Scott Dere had reached out to me about sending him the photo just because it was such a cool experience—especially for him. So, I wanted to get that to him so he could have that to remember. He then posted it and from there, the photo has gone viral. It made me feel glad to see that people enjoyed the photo. That people see the connection that we have with nature and animals. That a photo like that of an owl not only letting us into its world but flying up and landing on us would be something that people think is amazing and interests them."
