The Snowy Owls
All photos were taken at the Ecomuseum Zoo.
With the exception of the first photo with Casper, all photos are in the order of my visits, from the year 2015 to 2018.

The photos from May 20, 2016 look alike, but look at Casper's claws, it's fascinating how a Snowy Owl hides its claws with its feathers.
When I told my friend Mouhcine Laghzal that I was working on three projects, he said to me: "Sylvie, let me help you." So I gladly accepted his help. The colors in the photos from March 22, 2018 were very pale, almost b & w photos. With Mouhcine adjustments the feathers and the owl's eyes had found colors!!!
A HUGE THANK YOU to you Mouhcine
for your excellent work & your friendship 🙂!
