As the Swedish summer sun dipped below the trees, this beautiful Long-eared Owl settled among blooming hawthorn branches, bathed in a sea of golden light. Moments like these are what keep me returning to the wild, never knowing what nature will reveal next.

      I was skeptical of them for a decent bit, and while I have the Breville Smart Oven instead of a dedicated air fryer, I am now a believer! Way better for many things than standard baking. I’m with the owl on this one.

          The Breville has almost exclusively replaced our stove, since it’s just the 2 of us, so it’s earned its real estate. It lives on a section of counter not big enough for much anything else.
