December 17 and 18, plus snowy owl

[asakiyume]

A snowstorm is expected today, so yesterday I only felt like doing something kind of perfunctory, so I did these very standard Christmas bells.



But then this morning I woke up and ... no snow. No snow expected until after noon. Well, I couldn't do *two* perfunctory pictures, so I did one I'd been saving up: a blue jay.



And here, unrelated to the Advent calendar, is a sweet photo from the Daily Hampshire Gazette, a local paper: a snowy owl ^_^ What an armful!

Love the blue jay!! And yay for the owl — lucky it won’t be waiting for adoption, along with others of its species!! Hee!!

I think wildlife rehabilitators always try to return them to the wild!

Heh heh!! Of course they do. I was just being a bit sarcastic!! Little owl sitting at an animmal adoption place wouldn’t go at all well, for the owl or little puppies or kittens it caught and ate!! (More sarcasm, really!!)

Hahaha, strong agree--not a good idea to mix the predator with the prey!
