About Lucid Gypsy
Gilly Mbachu Goldsworthy is a mum to two kids that are supposed to be grown up and mma to a four year old and a new born baby boy. None of that means that I am grown up though! I love writing – travel and quite edgy fiction – and being an OU student for a degree which remains to be seen. What I do best though is counselling; I’ve been privileged to work with many people through big changes.
Oh yes … he is surprised

{shhhhhhhh…stole part of Eliz’s amazing Christmas greeting – hoping she’ll forgive me….hehehehe] It is Christmas Eve and the rains are here [from cyclone evan - YUK]
Credit ONLY given when due Eliz…you’ve got it in reserve.
I may be a pirate but I’m an honest one…well almost always.
Wow, an Eagle Owl! What a fabulous creature. And stunning capture Gilly.
Yes – I think it’s the open beak that does it, as if his mouth fell open in shock! Great photo. How did you manage to take it without scaring him into flying away?
Not sure if he’s the surpriser, or the surprisee! Either way, a fantastic shot.
I think someone just gave him a Christmas present and he’s saying: ‘Is that really for ME?!’
He’s glorious. What a stunning creature.
What you looking at???
He was waiting for you Gilly!

Brilliant! How did you get so close?!
He was about three feet from me being held by his human
This is wonderful! How did you do it??
Thanks, I got lucky! 1/320, F13, ISO 800 with a focal length of 55mm. It isn’t edited in any way, I debated edited out the background but didn’t have time.
A fantastic shot, and what a beauty he is!
What a shot, and what big eyes…..
Yes, indeed. I tend to agree. If his beak wasn’t open, this picture wouldn’t be the same. Love the close-up.
Fantastic! Incredible photo, Gilly
Thank ou my dear and happy Christmas!
I find him a bit scary, Gilly.
He surprised me. Whew! Those orange eyes and sharp beak are hard to ignore.
fantastic photo of a beautiful bird, certainly looks surprised … maybe being awake in the daytime!
