The morning shadows were especially nice on this wall in my kitchen just now. Luckily my camera was nearby and I grabbed it after letting Webster out for a quickie. Another wonderful fall day awaits me and I'm so glad to be able to get an early start this morning. After I get my coffee fix who knows what can happen. Enjoy your day.

Pull Your Weeds, Plant Good Seeds
Orbit The Orphaned Owl Loves His Stuffed Toy
In his five short weeks of life, Orbit hasn’t met many other owls.
So he isn’t at all worried that his new best friend doesn’t hoot back.
The orphaned chick is perfectly content in the company of the stuffed bird perched next to him and is never far from his side.
Orbit, a common barn owl, was given the toy by Lyndsey Wood, his care giver at Folly Farm, near Narberth in West Wales.
She said: ‘A friend suggested that I find something like a toy owl to stop Orbit from feeling lonely. I thought he might try to eat it, but he just cuddles up to it and goes to sleep.’
All you need is a friend. Somehow I keep finding these wonderful stories about orphaned baby animals and you know I'll keep sharing them with you! I found this one on Tumbler.com

Neoclassical Bathroom
The bathroom fixtures with swan's-head faucet and handles were custom-made.They match the other hardware throughout the apartment (door levers, window levers, and so forth).
On the terrace, the swans' heads that are visible are the backs of 19th century Italian folding garden furniture. The teacup is from a 1950s Tiffany design called "Black Victoria." The towels are French.

Owl with Spanish Moss
Another owl to delight you. This one is sitting on a tree limb draped with Spanish moss. I think I've mentioned before that the parkland adjacent to my cottage is the habitat for screech owls. I hear them at night in the summer when the windows are open but never see them.

The Owl and The Pussycat in Real Life
A real-life owl and pussycat. A kitten and owl have become inseparable since their unlikely friendship began. A litter of stray kittens was turned in to The Hawk Conservancy Trust in Hampshire UK after they were found abandoned on a nearby road. One pussycat has become firm friends with Nigel, a white-faced scops owl. Heartwarming Photo by Mathew Grocoot - Caters News

Classic Cotswolds
Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, England. I absolutely love this section of the Cotswolds and I'm quite sure I have pictures of this house packed away taken in the 1970s long before digital. Please click to enlarge this beautiful photo ©Robert Silverwood via Flickr.
