whatsup with owls?

by karen #1965 third grade teacher...what is up with the owls?...they are everywhere...i was a chi omega and the owl was our mascot...yeah, artsy people can be in a sorority and contribute artistic ideas and such...so i like the owl...picasso liked the owl...here is picasso's owl...

so the whole owl thing isn't new....one of my friends gave me this owl for teaching her daughter...check it out....

it was made out of a gourd...gourds are cool...you can find them at gourd farms......well, i found some for my dad for Christmas one year by looking in our state agriculture newspaper...Georgia Market Bulletin...your state may have a similar magazine...

this art was kinda cool, 2...

also, i went to this museum with my very dear friend and no one was looking and we took this picture inside the museum...we were both chi omegas...so the owl in the background was pretty cool...

there is even a band called owl city....yep...

owl city, 2008

Breathe and I'll carry you away into the velvet sky

And we'll stir the stars around and watch them fall away

Into the Hudson Bay and plummet out of sight and sound

The open summer breeze will sweep you through the hills

Where I live in the alpine heights

Below the northern lights I spend my coldest nights

Alone, awake and thinking of the weekend we were in love

(The weekend we were in love)

Home among these mountain tops can be so awfully dull

A thousand miles from the tide

But photos on the walls of New York shopping malls

Distract me so I stay inside

I wish the rocket stayed over the promenade 'cuz I would make a hook and eye

And fish them from the sky

My darling, she and I were hanging on so take us high

To sing the world goodbye

I am floating away

Lost in a silent ballet

I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you

Awake to take in the view

Late nights and early parades

Still photos and noisy arcades

My darling, we're both on the wing

 Look down and keep on singing and we can go anywhere

Are you there

(Are you there)

(Are you there)

(Are you there)

Are you there

(Are you there)

(Are you there)

Or are you just a decoy dream in my head?

Am I home or am I simply tumbling out alone?

I am floating away

(Floating away)

Lost in a silent ballet

(Silent ballet)

I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you

Awake to take in the view

Late nights and early parades

(Early parades)

Still photos and noisy arcades

(Noisy arcades)

My darling, we're both on the wing look down and keep on singing

And we can go anywhere

Are you there

(Are you there)

(Are you there)

(Are you there)

Check it out...Very relaxing...and Nature-like...
