I will probably never have an experience like this again in my lifetime, so I will always treasure my summer with this family of burrowing owls. 💕🪶

Powla had to admit that her siblings were crap when it came to proper classic ballet. "But you need to dance SOMEhow", she insisted. "All of you." (Including Owlfred, who has no sense of any rhythm at all, she thought.) "Let's do a nice chorus line, shall we?" Most of the others obliged. Sort of.

I saw between 30 and 40 owls out and only two were doing this! This guy didn't even care that I was parked nearby, gawking at him.

It makes sense-- they're the only birds I know of that live in a house year-round

CIOwl Agents Owliver, Nichowlas and Jessicowl had a top secret operation going on. It was so very extremely top secret that none of them actually knew what they were doing, or why. They were sure, however, they had to watch someowl or other. For whatever reason.

Tough time for mental health for people who aren’t horrible monsters so I took some pictures of things in my garden that made me happy yesterday. Pomegranate, passionfruit blossom, banana. 🌱 #gardening
