Camouflage

A Little Owl imitates a ceramic insulator on a telegraph pole. The bird was spotted by wildlife photographer Mircea Costina in Dobrogea, Romania...  Picture: Mircea Costina/Rex Features, via The Telegraph.
And for some reason, the juxtaposition makes the inverted insulator near the end humorous.

  1. I was thinking the same thing about the insulator before I read the caption.

  2. I hope you don't mind, but I've used this image to counterpoint a poem on my blog. I have, of course, provided credit to the photographer, and a link to this page:
