Medieval drawing of owl

Here’s a medieval owl for you
#InternationalOwlAwarenessDay
#SomethingBeautiful

A Roman mosaic depicting an owl with wide eyes, brown and red body, and blue feet, set against a cream-colored background with a black geometric border. The owl looks a bit deranged.

Apparently, it's #InternationalOwlAwarenessDay!
Here is my favourite #owl, depicted on a #Roman mosaic found in Uzès southern France, dating second half of the 1st century BC.

Tawny owl

#InternationalOwlAwarenessDay
I am aware of tawny owls every night when I hear them in the trees nearby. Only actually seen one once though. Lovely to go to sleep listening to their various sounds.

Bagpipe report. Storm Floris seems to be incompatible with my neighbour playing bagpipes in his garden. He gave it a go in the high winds, but quit after about 10 seconds.

I think that if you're a writer and you don't invent a word every now and then you're missing out on a solid chunk of the fun.

Good point

That’s possible indeed, though the electrical sockets at the bottom of the shelves sway me towards thinking it’s real

Built-in green shelves with glass doors on stairway landing, with old books and various interesting objects like globed, busts, clocks

Somebody’s private home library - no idea where this is, but it’s cool!

The most dangerous risk of all - the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.
