Snowy owl in a not so snowy winter


Does anyone else besides me have a hard time spending $15 on shipping for 25 lily bulbs, or
$17 shipping for 3 /$4.95 lavender plants? Grumble. Needless to say, I won't be ordering any plants on line. I should buy local anyway. And hold off on those springtime longings.

On another note, birding is free and sometimes you win the golden ticket. Like seeing this beautiful and rare snowy owl. He's been hanging around the Samoset Resort golf course for a couple of weeks, just waiting to be photographed. I was able to get right under him yesterday morning before he took off.

Yes, I've often gotten right up to the purchase page and changed my mind when I saw the shipping.
We got pictures of a snowy owl that sat on the beach in front of my in laws place. They are beautiful!

Absolutely stunning...what a rare catch. And yes, it *^($@#*&% me(that means "upsets") how company charge so much for shipping. It is like they have to grab revenue wherever they can find it. Grrrr. But the owl made me smile:)Laurel
