An owl with dappled feathers stands tall in a wedding gown, its wide round eyes fixed on the lens with irresistible seriousness. Usually a symbol of wisdom, this night bird happily plays along with the ceremony and takes on the air of a solemn bride. The veil frames its round face, the train spreads out beneath its talons, and the whole picture hovers between bridal grace and gentle silliness. It is impossible to meet that gaze without breaking into a smile.
