Life and death in the city



Yesterday, I saw my burrowing owl friend at the historic cemetery in El Paso. He'd recently caught some prey, a small bird. I'd approach with my camera and he'd get just spooked enough to take off with his catch in his talons. He'd land a few yards away. I'd snap a few more pictures. We did this little dance a few times, until I thought I was pushing my luck and gave him some room. I took more pretty flowering cactus pictures, and shots of graves of buffalo soldiers and railroad workers from China. You'll see those pictures soon.
