Asian Brown Wood Owl

Oh.My.Goodness. Isn't this the most beautiful owl ever? For some reason, I'm drawn to owls today. via

Serious Owl on A Branch

I love this little guy. He looks as if he's having a stare down and I'm pretty sure he will win. via

Those Lovely Owl Eyes

I have a fascination with owls and I love the yellowish orange eyes on this one. Have a great weekend. via

No Snow - So Happy

This Snowy Owl is happy and so am I. For some reason my area dodged the snow bullet and I am thrilled.

Both of these photos were captured at The Jersey Shore by @magyarolas on Instagram. Aren't they beautiful? I hope I will see a Snowy Owl in the wild some day!

Two Beautiful Owls

These two night owls might be able to stay up all night but I cannot. I am getting ready to call it a day and watch a movie. I had another busy day outside and got more things on the laundry list done. It was a good day and I hope yours was too. See you tomorrow. Good night. image

Gorgeous Owl

Forgive me for being so tardy with my morning post. I'm still running around in circles here at the cottage but it's good to be busy. I hope you are having a great last weekend in June. Can you believe the year is half over? Where did it go? This owl certainly has good taste in perching places, doesn't he? I love the wrought iron fence or gate. via

Owl Head Bump (Kiss on Forehead)

I can't believe today is the first day of June, can you? I'm ready for summer now so bring it on. I turned on my air conditioning yesterday and about 5 minutes later an alarm when off in my head. I forgot to take the cover off the outside unit. I ran to the wall and turned off the thermostat and ran outside to take the cover off. The fans on the unit would not go on so I called my repair company. Luckily they came over at the end of the day and fixed it. They said I was the second person idiot this week to do this very thing. You can be sure I'll never do it again. Click here to see this image in full resolution. It's great.

Happy June - I hope you will have a great weekend.

Shy Owl Trying to Blend In

He's doing a pretty good job too, isn't he? Goodnight dear friends. See you tomorrow. The weekend has begun. photo by Jennie Marie Schell

The Owl and I Say Goodnight

See you tomorrow. via

Owls in a Hollow Tree

This photo is so full of gorgeous tones and texture. Someone named it fifty shades of brown. I'm with the left owl who is ready for bed. See you tomorrow. via

Goodnight Spinning World

This owl makes my head spin. Goodnight via

The Eyes Have It.

Whooooo is looking at you?

Have you ever seen such an amazing grouping of owl eyes? I haven't. What a nice family portrait! The parents have very long moustaches and beards that completely hide their beaks. Wonder why? via

Hooked Rug with Not Quite White Owls

Not Quite White

21" x 27"

#8 and #6 cut wool on linen 

Designed and hooked by 

Karen Larsen

Crows’s Foot Farm Designs 

Elliottsburg, Pennsylvania 

2012

I recently reconnected with an old friend from this area who now lives in Pennsylvania. She has been hooking since 2006 and one of her original rug designs is on the November/December 2012 cover of Rug Hooking Magazine. 

Read about why these owls are "Not Quite White" in a portion of the article Creating White from Colors. I think she did a wonderful job, don't you? Her home was just photographed for an upcoming feature in Rug Beat. The owl rug looks beautiful on her dining room wall.

Spectacular Art Deco Owl

Wonderful Art Deco Owl above the door of the center reading room on the fifth floor, Library of Congress John Adams Building, Washington, D.C. Owls and libraries go together perfectly, don't they? via

Beautiful Pair of Owls

I never get tired of seeing beautiful owls and these two are simply stunning. via

Goodnight World

See you in the morning! via

Cat and Owl Calligraphy - So Beautiful

Click photo to enlarge and you will see that there is a mouse in the owl's beak. I dearly love this folky antique drawing snd handwriting exercise. The fragile calligraphy drawing was produced by the schoolteacher, Jacob Labotz, as part of a series of sketches with poems that he gave to students sometime in the 18th century. via BibliOdyssey
The Dutch text reads: 
"De kat spreekt tegen den Uijl 
Uijl gij doet mijn onregt 
de muis is mijn toegelegt 
Den uijl spreekt tegen de kat 
Kat gij moet weten 
het ongegoste broot word't meest gegeten"
I think there is some sort of dialogue going on about who deserves the mouse.
