Snow owls

I remember a time, back when housewife was a description for the prevailing lifestyle and not a derogatory term, when owls were a big motif for home decor. I think it was after roosters. But well before geese. Never subscribed to any of those trends, but I have always like real owls. They are very cool birds. Especially snow owls.

Apparently, owls are coming back into favor. Suddenly they're flooding my social nets. Loved this capture too:
