"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, the "model" of the photo lens pic, ended up posting the pic online where it went viral immediately. He concluded: "We share these wild places with animals that were here first and it's important we are good stewards of that. So, I think my photo shows this interaction; this connection we have with nature. At least I hope that would be the outcome—someone realizing we all have this connection with nature and hopefully being inspired to get out and enjoy the outdoors and the wildlife that call it home and make sure we are good stewards of it."
