hooooty whooooo ...

so, the other night, i was at the neighbors house across the street. as i opened the front screen to head outside a HUGE owl flew right over my head and headed across the street to land in another neighbors tree. it was SO beautiful! i tried to get a pic of it, but, alas, my camera is on the sub-standard side of the spectrum when it comes to actually capturing images of quality. you can't even see the owl ~ but the pic is still pretty cool!
i guess inspired from the whole experience, i drew this owl last night ~ it was kind of a rush job since i'm trying to get to the point of drawing daily and actually finishing something i start in the same day ~ it's a challenge for me since i suffer from self-diagnosed ocd ~ not that there's anything wrong with that :)

Are you sure we can't see the owl?
Is it in the center of the image?

Nice drawing too. Great detail on the head feathers/face.

I like that it is self diagnosed OCD:)

well, i gues you can kind of see the owl ~ it's almost directly in the middle of the image [which i must give myself a pat on the back for, since i couldn't even see him while taking it! i know, i'm awesome ;)] ~ anyway, thanks! :)

Ali, you never cease to impress me. Your owl is gorgeous! I'm looking forward to the many lessons you will give me in the future! You rule woman!

I'm impressed that you found the owl flying over your head to be "beautiful." I would have maybe found it to be that after I regained consciousness and laundered my pants. That would have scared me to death.

Nice sketch!

Well that's something you don't see every day! I don't think I've ever seen an owl, other than at the zoo. Nice photo and sketch.

That's an intelligent camera, "No chance with the owl? I'm comin' up with some alternative cool shot right now!... I said"
