They remind me,
very much,
of my childhood ballet teachers.
They have the same haughty
mien,
and graceful moves.
They love shaking their tutus,
and dressing up for opening night!
Who doesn’t?

fall palette.
Vineyards,

This learned looking, Spectacled Owl (click/tap to enlarge),
looks like he’s none too impressed with us humans.
Wise old owl!
Spectacled Owls are native to Mexico, Central and South America, and the species is doing well.
I met him at his home, where he flies free, at Avian Behavior International in rural Southern California.
Cheers to you from the learned, and wisely unimpressed owl~
Awesome Alberta, (click/tap to enlarge)
struts her stuff,

Stillness,

Mother Nature’s peaceful palette.
Cheers to you from astonishing Alberta~
