"Tulcea under my eyes" project by Sidorencu Iulian

Through these works, Sidorencu Iulian, a young photographer  has "transformed" his hometown in works of art.
  Using his passion to manipulate in Photoshop, losing hours of work, was simply worn by imagination and created an exhibition that amazed the viewers.
  The exhibition contains works with natural disasters, the ones that had the greatest impact on the viewers, and usual places from the city, but viewed from the perspective of the creator.
  The author is the first in town that uses this technique, and those interested are looking forward for the next exhibition.

Meet Zeus: The Rescued Blind Owl With Stars In His Eyes

  One morning, someone in Southern California found an injured owl on their porch. It turned out to be a blind Western Screech Owl with eyes that look like a starry night. After a visit to the vet, the owl found a new permanent home at the Wildlife Learning Center in Sylmar, California. He was named “Zeus” after the Greek god of sky and thunder because of his stunning eyes.

  Zeus was injured when he was found on that front porch in South California, but the dedicated team of animal lovers at the center helped him on his feet again. Since he was blind, they couldn’t simply release him back into the wild, so he now lives in a trunk on the filing cabinet next to Wildlife Learning Center founder Paul Hahn’s desk.

  This is Zeus, a blind starry-eyed owl who currently lives at the Wildlife Learning Center, Sylmar, California 

The little guy was found lying on a front porch near the Wildlife Center. He flew into the wall of a house and hit his head

The poor fella was scared, but otherwise undamaged. They discovered that the cause of his accident was his blindness

They couldn’t simply release him into the dangerous wild so they kept him in the Center

Since he had mesmerizing starry eyes, they named him Zeus, the God of the Sky

Now Zeus is a full-time resident of Wildlife Learning Center, bringing happiness to every visitor

He even has a toy friend and loves Halloween!

Zeuss is very friendly and loves to be near people, so if you’re ever in California, be sure to visit him and his friends in the Wildlife Learning Center

It's National Adoption Month: 20 surreal photos of foster kids at play

  November is National Adoption Month in the U.S., and photographer Rob Woodcox is helping foster kids act out their dreams in real life. As a former adopted child himself, Woodcox volunteers at the Royal Family Kids Camp for children of similar backgrounds. Through his photography, he celebrates their imaginations and facilitates wonder so they can build greater confidence.

  "I felt [it] would help them imagine other dreams, rather than forcing them relive their fears, and would be more powerful in helping them overcome their situations," he tellsMashable.

  But these photographs are more than keepsakes. For kids, they're an acknowledgement of their pain, tangible proof that their experiences are legitimate. "When I speak to the kids whose experiences I’ve captured...they often have tears in their eyes seeing the beauty and hope present in my creations," Woodcox says.

  It's important to have a dedicated month for awareness, not only to honor the challenging experiences most foster children experience, but also to correct misinformation around adoption.

  Woodcox says one of the most important things a foster family can remember is that it won't be easy in the beginning. "Many people think taking on a foster child or adoption will be as simple as just 'being nice' and 'saying nice things,' or offering privilege," he says. However, these kids go through a very trying phase before they trust new families. It's important to see it through, so they're not cycled through the system again and again.

  In the end, he says, patience and unconditional love will always overcome the struggle, and everyone will grow.
