December 16: Laurie Seddon was heading toward Farmington River School on Rt. 23W in Otis between Town Hill Road and Otis Ridge when she passed this barred owl perched on the telephone/power line. She didn't stop because she had to pick up her daughter at 11:30 sharp, and we all understand the impatience of children. To Laurie's surprise, the owl was still on the line when she returned. There was no traffic, so Laurie stopped and took the owl's picture. It was a foggy morning because of evaporating snow, which made for what she called a "really cool backdrop."
