Tootsie Roll

Melissa went to some teacher party thing that one of her friends was hosting tonight. They don't live too far away so she rode her bike over there. As soon as she got back she took Finley on a bike ride around the block and when she was heading back home again a big owl flew in front of her and landed on a house next door to a neighbor we know down the street. So she called me and once she got back to the house I went over there with my camera. I took a couple of quick shots that didn't turn out very well since it was so dark that I couldn't auto focus. Then I was manual focusing and it was so dark that wasn't doing to great either. At least the owl wasn't timid and let me get way closer than I expected. I was maybe 15 feet from him in the second pic. I took about 8 pictures and then the guy living there comes out front and grunts at me. As soon as he started out the door I kind of waved at him and said I was sorry to disturb him... I was just taking a picture of the owl on his roof. He grunted again and went back inside. So then I felt like a tool and left.
