When Owls Dream artist: Rae Staseson |
| It was 3 p.m. on a dreary day in February. I was driving the back roads in southern Saskatchewan, somewhere between Briercrest and Avonlea. Then something magical happened….
“When Owls Dream” is a reminder that it is not only humans that survey and carefully observe their surrounding environments. Owls, whose heads seem to turn in a 360 degree orbit, scan the horizon, taking in the most minute shifts in the landscape. |
