Ready to be inspired, Thalia touches Instagram’s explore icon. “Ooooo-mmmmm-phffff! Look-eeee, look-eeee. Ah-yyyyeee love it!”

Twwiiccceee in one weeeeek! This makes my heart smile and also a wee bit jelly. I am obsessed with birds of prey. I am not sure when it started but I can’t take my eyes off them.
Sooo... more than one owl is a “parliament.” ☑️ Once inspired, the goal of art play was quickly determined and executed deftly. The black pupils define this avian miracle as a nocturnal species. Great Horned Owl I’ll guess.

Much in character, Tal celebrates a perfect coincidence, Nia quickly rounds up the gear for art play as Cal ponders it all. Done in perfect harmony.
Now I’ll pretend I’m the wise man Pythagoras described...
