HUDDLING under a leaf, a pair of adorable Javan scops owls take shelter from the rain. Using the large, flat plant as an umbrella, the young owls wince as the raindrops bounce off their make-shift roof. The rainy scene was captured by 36-year-old photographer, Tanto Yensen at a small park near his home in Jakarta, Indonesia.
