I wasn’t expecting a snowstorm in the middle of May, but I’m definitely not complaining. For people who love nature and wildlife photography, there’s really no such thing as bad weather. In fact, extreme weather often adds a whole new level of drama to the scene. Watching this Great Gray Owl hunt through heavy snowfall yesterday was incredible. The snow and the owl’s intense focus made for some beautifully dramatic action shots in the middle of near whiteout conditions.
