As I mentioned yesterday, the dogs attending the blessing of the animals at Christ Church Cathedral were generally well behaved. One other member of the congregation, though, soon had all it could stand. This beautiful owl sat silently on its perch for some time but then decided it had had enough. I think I've heard owls hoot in the countryside but this one had a screech. The sound was remarkable, always holding the same pitch and volume, threatening to shatter the stained glass windows until the owner took it outside. Amen.
WHAT'S AT THE END OF THE TRAIL TODAY: a cozy corporate hotel at Dallas-Ft. Worth International Airport.
TOMORROW: and now for something completely different.

I think I have enjoyed the expression on the priest's face as much as the animals. What a kind face he has.Bon voyage mes amis. Have a safe trip and keep in touch for pete's sake!
The owl is spectacular. I forgot about this tradition...darn. I must have missed it!!
Aww, the poor thing must have found everything so confusing. He's gorgeous! And the priest looks enamored of him too.
Have a safe and wonderful trip!
What a great story and striking picture. Any time for a blessing before he was ushered out? LOL
'K, I stand corrected. I've coordinated these kinds of services but never had an owl show up. There's always that one reprobate.
I gather you're going to Japan? Have fun for all of us, photograph everything, and then give us your unique perspective.
What a beautiful creature, but not meant to be indoors.
Have a spectacular trip.
I would screech too if someone tied my feet together and won't let me move for a long period of time.
That said, lovely photo!!
Beautiful owl! Wow!
We don't have this tradition of blessing the animals, or maybe, they do it but only with farm animals.
Lovely shots, that dog looks familiar to me, such a sweet glance....
This hoot is beautiful.
