There are some moments with your camera that leave you feeling full of adrenaline and a euphoric high from joy and excitement. This.. this was one of them for me.. 🦉🐍📸💛 (Oct 17th, 2023)
In the split of a second, this Great Horned Owl 🦉 came flying out of the trees before flying back into them. My camera was on my passenger seat beside me, already turned on (my camera being turned on was the only way this photo was even possible or there wouldn’t of been enough time). As I was cruising back roads seeking to find some wildlife and/or birds to photograph. I quickly grabbed it and just shot the photo as fast as I could. As I had only seconds to do so. I didn’t think I actually got a clear shot, let alone a good one. Let me tell you, I was freaking out with excitement when I realized.. the Owl was carrying its freshly caught lunch.. a snake!!! To be completely honest I had no idea until that moment that some owls even eat snakes.
As someone who has their spirit guides visit them in the form of birds a lot — especially Eagles and Owls (maybe it’s because I’m an air sign) I always try to look into the meaning of and significance to moments like these.. 🥹💓 once I learn the spiritual meaning behind a certain animal/bird crossing my path for example, it always always always resonates in some way, shape or form..
🦉 Symbolic meanings for the owl are: Intuition: Ability to see what others do not see and beyond deceit. Wisdom: Capacity to have insight and know when to act. Transformation: A great change/transition will come into your life.
🦉 Seeing an owl during the day means that you are on a path of self-discovery and becoming more aware, conscious, enlightened, intuitive, wise & knowledgeable.
🦉 a bird carrying a snake symbolizes a transition or change. While the bird is moving to higher ground, it is changing its environment and starting anew. This symbol of change and transition indicates moving away from the past and onward to the future.
🦉 The snake, a symbol of transformation, sexuality, shedding one’s skin, wisdom. The owl, a symbol of the shadow side, deep wisdom, inner knowing, the divine feminine. The owl eating the snake – wisdom consuming wisdom.
