My imperfect owl would've been a second entry for November's contest. But it wasn't to be . . .

Nevertheless, this refrigerator magnet has been with me for years, moving every time I did. Along the way its nose got broken and the end of its branch sheared off. But blotches notwithstanding, this owl is special. Owls have long held a mystique for me and more than once I have stood and stared at this one.

1. Do you enjoy the "Salmon Chanted" thing here on Sundays? I do, mostly because there is almost....

7. Yes, it's in the DU Lounge.

Early every Sunday morning, DU member SalmonChantedEvening makes a post that consists of a varied mix of images, collated from a variety of sources, mostly featuring animals of various types (especially cats, but all kinds of other things as well). Included are funny cartoons, photos with hilarious captions, and cute and/or beautiful animal pictures of all kinds. These posts are a lot of fun, and a lot of us look forward to them every week.

Here's a link to the last one: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1018&pid=1729832

8. Yes, I'm pretty sure he posts in the Lounge. Posts early every Sunday, usually just after midnight..

.....which engenders something of a small competition among DUer "nightowls" to be the first to respond to a new post. A nice collection of photos, cartoons, images and memes, different every week. Funny stuff, and the wildlife photos are usually very good. I think that he must have a cool photo of an owl every week, but just watch, this week, if you look, there won't be one.

I’m not the only one who gets sentimentally attached to long held objects

Thank you for sharing a bit of yourself with us, George! Nice photo!
