Pine tree sap can go from yellow to brown. It almost looks like caramel.

This is a great gray owl, but if you look at it, it’s actually quite brown. And beautiful.

Talking about owls, this is the giant owl butterfly. Lots of brown there.

My last photo for this theme features a swallow’s nest, made out of mud. It’s a messy job but those swallows are relentless at building.

Technically the photos below are more zoom than macro but this is the first time I’ve photographed a great gray owl up close and I wanted to share these photos with you. The great gray owl is one of the largest owls in the world and it’s absolutely gorgeous as a whole and up close. I hope you enjoy these few shots!

Here’s what the great gray owl looks like. Quite impressive. Beautiful feather pattern too.

And it looks great from the side too. I wouldn’t want to get my fingers caught in that beak.
