Tree Owl

Walking home from the gym on a drizzly day-before-Thanksgiving, a swirl of white attracts my eye, tucked between the vertical 2×4’s bound across most every tree on my ever-under-construction street.

Upon closer inspection, it’s an owl’s head, painted on the back of some bark, eye centered on a hole in the trunk.

The feather tucked between the bark and the trunk is a delightful detail.

Thanks to whatever artist graced our tree with such elegance and whimsy.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!
