The eyes...

Yesterday, this bizarre, somewhat creepy owl decoy was installed on a pole on the roof of the building directly across from our apartment.  As in, looking out the living room windows, I see this weird, yellow-eyed owl.  It feels very Gatsby-like, I'm channeling Nick Carraway here, seeing the giant eyes on the billboard, that appeared to be watching you.  This vaguely menacing looking owl is peering into the window, bobbing slightly in the breeze. It's not really something you want to look out your window to see staring down at you.

And since the property manager has told us we could no longer have our window bird-feeder, we cannot look at birds anymore.  Apparently the owners of the other bldg still have not solved their bird dilemma, so this monstrosity has been erected to further deter any birds!

    1. I like ducks much better! And far less unsettling to see than big yellow-eyed OWL. Hoot hoot.
