My friend Christine Tucker gave me a copy of this poem (pictured) during our writing circle last week… What a nice reminder that I love owls. Perhaps it is because they are elusive creatures; I don’t see a million of them out in the yard like the doves or the sparrows that flit around happily during the day. When an owl graces me with its presence I am completely awed. There is a Great Horned beauty that comes around to visit every once in a while…. I want to think there is some kind of message for she brings from the other side, you know, some wise message that will change my entire mindset and suddenly all things in my mind and life will become crystal clear… but since I am a bit slow when it comes to things like this, the message is always a bit vague…okay, it is completely unknown to me… but it is still pretty cool to just hear the soft, clear “Hooot-Hoooot” as a reminded to ponder the mysteries of the night.
In the photo’s along with Chris’ poem are a couple of cutie hootie’s that I did a while back… inspired by the Great Horned Owl that visits me on occasion. http://goodmusedesigns.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=77

Love Them!!! Cutie Hooties–how cute are they! I love the owls in my neighborhood in Picture Rocks…their soft voice and regal presence on the old mesquite snag with a full moon in the background. Thanks Marnie for these beautiful reminders of these amazing birds..your art always inspires me and connects me to the things I love in this world.
Thanks Freckle Face, I’m so glad to a-MUSE you with my art! I love how the circle of creativity works…first Chris’ poem inspired me to write this post…who knows what other owl inspirations will come out of it!
I love owls!!!
