Hello, possums! Time again (at least on this side of the international date line) for another Bradbury's Jar prompt. I've been banging on about Science Week and all the fun I've been having, but there's also been some sad news in that Oska, the resident Barking Owl at the WA Bird of Prey Centre in Perth, passed away on Friday. Oska was 12, which is middle-aged for a Barking Owl. He was one of the foundation educators at the centre and was much loved by everyone who worked with him. As an ambassador for wildlife, his job was to engage and to inspire, which he did magnificently. I will miss seeing him and hearing his voice whenever I phone the centre or drop in for a visit - Oska could never resist barging in on a conversation with his distinctive, "Wook-Wook!" call. Naturally, his trainer is devastated at the loss of such a wonderful little character. Our little bird of prey community is doing what it does best - rallying around and offering support. In honour of Oska, this week's prompt is: Inspiration.

*hugs* I'm so sorry.
