A rescue morepork owl before and after a bath at the Wildbase Recovery Center. He'd contracted some sort of bacterial infection, possibly from a contaminated waterway wildbaserecovery.co.nz #owls

Miniature owl maybe six to eight inches tall. Before bath he looks like a poorly made Halloween bat toy standing on two wobbly legs with his wings partly outstretched for balance. After his bath he looks like a proper bonsai owl and would probably nip if someone wasn't holding his feet firmly

Per The Shovel, “Cuba has also agreed to open the Straight of Florida. Yes, it is already open. But under this deal, they have agreed to keep it open … for the next 60 days, and then they will start charging us to access it. So that’s a very, very big win for us” #uspol

If you feel like your life is off kilter, like you just can't get back on the beat -do what the professionals do. Turn around and follow the drummer

Bass guitarist Nick Beggs rocking leather kilt and blonde pigtails on stage, but for some reason he doesn't like photos that show him playing with his back to the audience when he gets to Steve Hackett's whacky time signature changes.
