You’re being watched
How curious is it that the birdwatcher, the one who watches, is, in fact, the one being watched themselves? For whenever you watch the abyss, the abyss watches you back: she’s watching, watching the one who watches her.

Alt-text: a photography of a burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) perched behind something out-of-focus, which is occluding her from being fully seen. Only the top of her head is visible, as well as her left eye (right side of the picture), directly gazing at the viewer with a scheming-like, half-opened side-eyed expression.

As a Portuguese-speaking Brazilian, I wasn’t aware of what a “sesame seed bun” was, until I searched for images and… ROFL 🤣🤣 I simply can’t unsee it now. (I knew “sesame seed bun” as “pão de hambúrguer”, lit. “burger bread”, hence why I didn’t understand your reference until I looked that up)
And considering how this kind of bread is equally soft, it’s an awesome reference!
Hehe. I’m glad I could give you a chuckle. My mind is good for something!
Plus, thanks for the lesson and sharing that yourself. Very interesting!
I always love our owl-derived language lessons here!
