Owls and Owling

Posted on

The Owl has always been an animal that has intrigued me.

We have an old rock quarry behind out house, and from time to time we can see them flying from the quarry to the back hills and back late at night when we are in our spa.

Owls are majestic, mysterious and secretive. They also stand for wisdom, and some believe they are a sign of protection. I wouldn’t mind doing a little "Owling" in my decoration in our home.

I would definitely use a few of the figurines below...

I see them more and more lately...maybe it’s a good sign!

Well, what ever they stand for, they inspire me...

Owl Figurines...

Owl art...

"Anthropologie-esque" Owls...

Subtle Owls...

Hidden owls in your coffee...

And Owling. Apparently there is a trend called Owling. Owling is when people pose for pictures by crouching like an owl. Some are pretty funny...Some are sexy!

Even my favorite designer Kelly Wearstler is doing it!

Funny huh?!

Have you tried Owling?

"Sigh… I would love to follow this grassy path through the lovely town of Jaujac France! This installation is titled Tapis Rouge, and was created by Marseille based artist Gaëlle Villedary. Here’s what Google Translate has to tell us about this gorgeous project:

In the heart of the village of Jaujac, the in situ installation Red Carpet! Celebrates the 10 years of trail Art and Nature, on my path a Artist past … Deploy the symbolic of the tribute, through the village to link the natural spaces on both sides, a link, a path, a trail, connecting the heart of the village and its inhabitants with the valley. The incarnation of the thread which crosses the eras in Jaujac is a sprig of nature, a communion between nature and man, through art."

I though i would re-post this beautiful installation from The Jealous Curator. This is just amazing!!

It just makes me think of The Wizard of Oz's Yellow Brick Road. Maybe this one has a different story!

Happy Monday!
