Spotted

I once

on a trip just like this

spotted an owl

that scared the living daylights out of me

because something that big

just shouldn't fly.

Especially right at me.

Not sure if the best find ever

was actually finding the Sponge Bob Easter basket

or finding Sponge Bob nestled into my side of the bed

on Easter morning last year.
