We were driving through Shenandoah National Park a few weeks ago when a HUGE owl landed on a tree right next to our car.  It was the most beautiful and mesmerizing creature I have ever seen.  Even though we only saw him for a moment, I will never forget the piercing stare of his dark eyes.

In honor of this amazing owl (which I later identified as a Barred Owl), I decided to create an owl shirt for Threadless’ National Park challenge.  It’s obviously a simplified representation of a barred owl but brings back great memories of the gorgeous bird I encountered in Shenandoah National Park.
