Okay, to balance out the grimness of yesterday's post, I offer you this: A baby bird in a camelia tree.

And speaking of birds, owls are everywhere. Or is this already a dated trend? It's still bird art, or rather, bird craft, so I don't like it. But it makes me wonder if owls are solely the domain of craft? The silhouette of a songbird seems more conducive to oils, encaustic and the like whereas the owl just begs to be done up in felt in tones of brown and orange or plastered on a t-shirt.
