2. IF: Camouflage and Zoo Junkie

THE ZOO: I met this great Owl at the Zoo this weekend. He blended into the trees surrounding him so nicely that I hardly noticed him. I tried to connect with him but he was of few words. Quite simply, I was interrupting his sleep. I was told I have OWL MEDICINE like my Mom before me (that intuitive gift), so I couldn't wait to meet this creature! I whipped out my pen and did a quicky sketch.

I find it hard to capture animals in movement. Once I start and I get a great pose, the animal moves! I don't know how others master it. Probably reference photos. I lucked out with the owl...he just sat there.

We are slowly becoming zoo junkies. I'd love to talk to each animal and write his story, but I know from my visit to the vet and the groomer's to drop off cards --the vet tech said, "Do you have certification from the state to be animal communicator? (huh?) and the groomer said, "I guess it helps in some situations,"--that the zoo folk may not be responsive to what I do. Tough crowd. This is one gift that can be hard to have. You don't go to a dentist and say, "I don't believe you. What you do is nonsense". Ah, but I digress.
