3 for Tea

Mr. Brooks, Petey, and Hedwig stopped by for afternoon tea, after their Parliament of Owls -- during which they discussed, of course, the nature of the elusive Armadillo. These three were parched! :-)

    I would fave it 100 times!!!!

  5. acshepard (57 months ago | reply)

    I adore this photo Michael.
    Maybe the Parliament of Owls can figure out how to keep the armadillo out of my back yard.

    I imagine there is a lot of "here, here", "furthermore", "I do say" and "spot on" going on. Arguments about the nature of scones versus crumpets and the proper way to take your tea.

    Tea and lofty conversation! With these three, one never knows what heights of intellectual discovery might be reached.

  7. monika & manfred (57 months ago | reply)

    Nice afternoon company you had! ;-)

  8. frogmuseum2 (57 months ago | reply)

    They are good company, indeedy! :-)

    I fixed them up right with some Yorkshire Gold! :-)

    hehe. Thank you, m'dear! :-)

    I daresay, Adam (they went for the scones)! ...wait a sec...you've got an armadillo in your backyard??!! Lucky! :-O

    They are a bit secretive about their investigations into the nature of the mystical Armadillo, Brett, but otherwise the conversation was quite spirited and enlightening! :-)

    A very nice Saturday Afternoon Tea was had by all! :-)

    Maybe they can also go to the Parliament of Skunks and figure out how to get rid of them in my backyard.

    Your owls are welcome here anytime.

    Oh excellent, I always like to have friends over for tea and some of my friends are birdbrains too.

  23. frogmuseum2 (57 months ago | reply)

    heh. The armadillo may not be dangerous even at all. The Owls won't say much! :-)

    Hullo, Linda! :D

    Thank you, sweetie! Don't fret: I'm a *bit slow* pretty much every day -- except Thursday...;-)

    I may just have them check out your ownself's backyard! Skunks! Cool. They are next on the agenda after the mystical Armadillo! :-)

    LoL! A lotta my non-flickr friends are too! Hold the phone: so is me! :-O

    Aw, thanks, dear Daniela! love you adorable icon, btw! :-)

    I love Beatrix Potter too! -- alas, I used to have the complete set of her books (and a bio) but lost them over the years. Glad you still have yours! :-)

    (I am included, of course ;-D

    Wonderful photo, makes me smiling, and smiling, and smiling :-D

  28. frogmuseum2 (56 months ago | reply)

    They were. Very. And hungry. Chatting away for hours about Armadillos has that effect. :-)

    Thank you! This is my favorite teapot -- really, the only one I use anymore! :-)

    Then I declare this pic a success -- if it makes you so smiling, dear Ewa, since that is what it is for! :-)

    delighted to have stumbled across your gorgeous photostream, your work really made me laugh!

  36. Lauren Alane (56 months ago | reply)

    Oh my goodness! Petey is not so much smaller than Mr. Brooks! Somewhere along the way my owls got waaaaay bigger than Mr. Brooks and then Petey seemed like a tiny little guy!

    This picture is just beautiful!

    just AMAZING!

  43. Oniric Mermaid (56 months ago | reply)

    The 3 wise owls have met for an afternoon tea at their fav resort, Mr Froggy Belview Mind and Beauty Clinic. It is a exclusive very posh liberal resort. When they go there, they always discuss SERIOUS stuff, and get AMAZING equations, theories and hypothesis at the end. The secret is in the tea... they go naked into a spa-teapot full of cinammon bubbly tea. It has been scientifically proven that tea softens fethers, specially if you don't have any and your skin is made of fabric.... Moreover, these savy birds can drink tea at body temperature directly from the tub... which, thanks to the bubbles, increases the speed of circulation of the heavenly drink along their bodies, reaching the brain superfast. The result is that the brain cells mul-tea-ply at the speed of a bubble-bigbang, producing amazing effects on the neurological connectors of the brain. We can expect great things from this meeting, that's for sure. The photo was surely taken by Miss Molly Froggylynch, before she handed them over the towels, slippers and teaproof notebooks and pens. Melusina Nestcafinn ends here her report for the 5.45 show "Science is in the Air" from the Oniric Chanel. Ciao

  44. frogmuseum2 (56 months ago | reply)

    & Thank you very much! :-)

    Yun Ping Of course -- Tea for everybody! :-)

    Yah! :)

    Comin' right up, Sir! Earl Grey. Hot. :-)

    your little owl looks like a wonderful companion! :-)

    Well, I'm happy you made it -- most folk have to stumble to find their way to this crazy place! :-)

    That's what I thought! They are almost the same size! Ya done good again -- better than even good! :-)

    & Thank you! They are fun birds to have around the house! :-)

    They sure do funny things! :-)

    Right away, m'dear! Here is your fresh cup! :-)

    me too -- I like to just sit back and listen to them chat. :-)

    I think you covet my teapot! :-)

    LoL! The Oniric Channel is my favorite! -- and of course I'm all about science and whatnot! :D

  45. bookhouse boy (56 months ago | reply)

    Is that a Häschenschule teapot?!

  46. frogmuseum2 (56 months ago | reply)

    It's a Wedgewood teapot. I've had it for about...16 years! :-)

  47. scribblegurl (56 months ago | reply)

    I know about the armadillo. ;)

  48. bookhouse boy (56 months ago | reply)

    I see. Die Häschenschule is a German children's book, a classic. It's about bunnies at school, you see, and stylistically, it's very close to your teapot. You can see some artwork here or here. (It's from 1924. You'd think the copyright would have lapsed by now, but no. So those are all the samples I can find on the net...)

  49. frogmuseum2 (56 months ago | reply)

    What? They let you into the club and excluded my own self? Arrrrgh! :-P

    Oh, I'm sorry -- my German is so very bad! The characters depicted on this teapot are from the book "Peter Rabbit," by the English children's book author Beatrix Potter. Thank you for the links! ~ I always like to find new books! :D

  50. frogmuseum2 (56 months ago | reply)

    Aha! Found it Here

    Yes, the characters are amazingly similiar!!

    this's really cute, happy pictures ~
