Orphaned Baby Owls Linford and Christie

These orphaned baby burrowing owls, named Linford and Christie after the former British Olympic athlete, were abandoned by their mother and are now being cared for 24 hours a day. That means they get to come home with their keeper, Jimmy Robinson of the Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire, England. Once the owls are fully-grown, they'll join the "Hunters of the Sky" exhibit at the park.

They love to find tiny spaces to hide in, as it's their natural instinct to do so. I wish I had adorable little owls burrowing in my bookshelves!


They see Jimmy as their mother, and follow him around. Here they are perched on his knees as he reads. I'm a bit jealous. Okay, I'm really jealous.


They also love teacups and sugar bowls, like any good British inhabitant should.

Color Photos of London During the Blitz

These never-before-seen color images of the damage caused by the Blitz in London have been released in honor of the 70th anniversary of V-Day in Britain.

It's incredible to see the aftermath of the bombings - it's amazing how one building could be completely destroyed but the one next to it could be untouched. What a scary time for London's citizens!

Thankfully, the city has since been rebuilt (although you can still see shell marks on many buildings that survived).

London Neighborhood Prints by Little Gonzales

These London neighborhood prints by Little Gonzales, featuring the sights of the city's various areas, are so wonderful! He mixes witty phrases with classic British icons, all in bright colors.

I think the little bird above "Hampstead Heath" is my favorite detail. So clever and whimsical! See more of Little Gonzales' work here.
