Welcome Hey there, thanks for stopping by! Welcome to my little corner of the internet, my place to share my voice and photography. In case you don't know me, I am Sara (that's me to the left, the one without a big white furry coat). I am a photographer based in the San Francisco Bay area, California. I LOVE my work, and you will see a bit of that sneaking in here. I also use this as a place to share other parts of my life. You will find adventures, food and little tidbits about my life with my darling husband and our two fat cats.  Please feel free to have a look around and even leave me a note. I would love to hear from you!

We are so blessed to be surrounded by so much natural beauty here in California. And, I am sorry to say, I do not take advantage of it often enough. I get so caught up in work and photographing my clients that I hardly get time to just photograph for myself. This last week has been different. I have taken time for myself and have enjoyed time with friends, family and even manage to photograph for myself. What does that mean? I go on a long walk and enjoy what I find.

After my last Oakland animal shelter shoot Emily told me about some little birds that would like to have there photo's taken and I took full advantage of the opportunity for a nice walk and some fresh air. It is amazing what you can see when you just take the time.

Now for the little game. Do you see what I see? I promise you that it is there. It is kind of like where's Waldo on steroids? I promise you there is a burrowing owl in this picture. Do you see it? I will post the answer tomorrow...

I told you he was there! And this is him up close! Look at those eyes! Take this as a reminder to slow down and enjoy the world around you!

Emily Whiston:

Bah! Cannot, can NOT find him! This is why I never made much of a birder... So glad you found one though, I wasn't sure if they'd be out in the morning. Beautiful shots!

Sara Atkins:

Hehe. Don't worry I will tell you tomorrow. The little bugger is hard to spot! Thank you for the heads up, it was so much fun being out there!

Cindy Yeung:

I can't find him either! I do love these photos...they are so pretty...you have inspired me to take walk outside. Perhaps at work tomorrow. =)

I think he's on the rock. To the left of the middle of the photo there's a black rock that sticks out into the water. Above and to the right of this rock is a grey/peach rock. In front of this rock is where the owl is located. -- Mind you that Jamison saw this and I'm the one who's having to describe it.

By the way, is the owl that you photographed up close... does it have one leg?

Sara Atkins:

Hehe. This is fun. Really good try Shelly, but no luck. He is a sneaky little critter! Cindy, I hope you enjoy your walk and take your camera!!!
