Owl Prowl at My House

Tonight I went out to my car and hear this beautiful noise coming from what I thought was one of our front trees.  I stood for a few moments and listened.  The call of, what I think was, a barred owl was so clear, that I almost thought it was a person making the call.  It was beautiful.  So I texted my family to come out for an owl prowl and to be silent.  They complied and snuck outside.  It was so great being outside together, listening and looking at this tree.  Then out of a pine tree across the road flew two large shadowy shapes that no one was able to identify.  It felt like a total night time at camp....a wonderfully addicting experience.

So while looking for these owls we found this huge spider.  It's web filled the space between ground and a lower branch of the tree.  It was about 5ft tall and 2.5 feet wide.  It was fantastic.  I also got some good photos for Halloween decorating. What a bootiful night!
