SKULL and ARCHITECTURAL DETAILING

At the head of the stairs in this most spectacular of houses, a striking composition of bone and white against a brilliant blue rough plaster wall. 

Short eared owl

Wow, what a surprise to see this short eared owl fly across the road to an alder tree this a.m. while on a walk. It turned it's head 180 degrees to keep an on eye on me until I was out of site then it flew away but not before the small birds tried to harass it with loud chirping and close charging fly bys.
