Sooty Owl photos are harder to come across than I’d like. So happy to find these very dramatic poses from this beautiful bird!

      I love these guys, and this pose especially. It looks so startled, and the shadow of the claws is great.

          The colors are fascinating. They remind me of some of the colors I can hear (yes, hear!) in music sometimes. Which maybe sounds crazy, but it’s fun.

            I’ve tried reading about synesthesia many times but can never wrap my head around how it works or what it would feel like.

            Looking at this example on Wikipedia, it makes me think of the program they work on in the show Severance!

              Yeah, it does look like that! But I can’t relate to numbers having colors at all. Music has colors.

              E flat can remind me of a burnished gold. Or someone sings a note, and it’s like I can see the overtones on a screen in front of me. Layers of shimmering sound waves up near the ceiling, maybe gold or silver or white depending on how the note is sung.

              Or sometimes the fundamental has a rich, pretty gray, like this owl. I don’t talk about it much because not everyone gets it, but I feel comfortable here and I know you like music :)

                It always sounds like it would be distracting, but now you make me think it could be an advantage where you could get visual feedback on music that could help you learn songs quicker. Very intriguing stuff.

                I may not exactly get it, but the only people I’ll give a hard time to here are those that don’t respect animals or the environment!

                  Yeah, it’s good for that, or remembering different interpretations.

                  I saw you have a wedding coming up? Congrats! And I hope things work out with work.

                    I appreciate that! Everything wedding related is going well, and hopefully the work stuff will play out smoothly as well.
