More and more Owls (Part 3)

'Along with leaves, owls are another key theme for the Alpine, cropping up on cusions for Nordic Elements'
(Mix, 2013, p.56)

This old owl looks quite spooky, like some kind of bird guarding a cave.

I adore these wooden toys, they again share the large round eyes of the owl and the beak is cleverly integrated as a corner. T
hese were from an article titled 'Accessories Wooden Toys'.
'More birds, this time owls, come form Matt Pugh. This is the British based designer's signature range, made from oak or walnut and with a slick of colour on the owl's crown.'

MS Bing


I like Bing now.

Don’t get me wrong I hate how when you sign out of Hotmail your taken to a lumpy collage mess of  gossip and news, known as the MSN page.
But Microsoft’s search engine, given its make over once a day with a beautiful photo of something, anything – be it a plants, a building, some kind of macro photo, or even a short cute video of a group of seals chillin with their mates, is well worth the aggravation of changing from googling to…well binging. But I still google. Its a hard habit to kick.

Any way a selection of screenshot saves in which pattern poses a great threat to me using google. I mean next to cuteoverload.com Bing’s cover page can cheer me up. Its great. And those little glowing squares of facts are just a perfect addition.
