When I was leaving work late the other night, I was wearing heel boots and walking quite fast to my car, since it was cold out side. So my boots were making some noise.

To my right I hear a rustling and something shoot off into a tree, not even 6 feet away from me. (my work place is cushioned with a forest on one side) Looking up into the tree I meet the eyes of POTATO! Not really a potato, silly. That's what I call burrowing owls. ::points up:: It was a couple, a pair, a boy potato and a girl potato.

They just sat there watching me, seeing if I was a threat or not. I stood there a while, just enjoying this personal little moment with nature and wishing I had someone else to share it with. :3
