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!

It looks cat sized! I want to cuddle it (though I'm sure it would hate that, so I wouldn't do it...)

Especially since I've heard that owls are basically flying knives...

to quote seananmcguire on twitter:

"Owl is NOT ONE OF THOSE THINGS. Owl is blaming me for all of its woes. OWL IS MADE OF KNIVES."

"I love many birds, but my favorite is the barn owl. It's basically a somewhat dim flying pillow filled with knives that has figured out how to best exploit the human race."

Hahaha, I love that description of a barn owl.
