Night Owl..


I was lucky enough to get a tour of a falconry a few weeks ago, and this magnificent, perfect bird caught my eye. I love that moment you see a burst of unexpected colour in nature (which is what I have been taking photo's of lately, the one yellow leaf on a tree, or red berries on a winter bush). The falconer told me yellow eyes mean the owl has great night vision, and hunts primarily at night. They must gather up all the starlight in their eyes, until they glow like torches in the dark, and beam around the night. I wonder if everything he sees is yellow tinted, like owl-night-vision-goggles ? I must find out more about owls!

What do you think about some Night Owl inspired jewellery?...
