These are some kind of amulets as to protect from "evil eyes". As I've been told, it's a turkish tradition that comes from when there was chamanism there. So, from long ago.
This picture was taken at Capadocia, Turkey.

Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) giving me the evil eye. It is standing on a burrow that it appeared to use. Image taken north of Denver on the Colorado prairie.
First time i have been able to draw in 3 MONTHS. A shirt design for the Cali hardcore band All Teeth.
AWESOME DUDES
This bronze tintinnabulum is hung with bells and functioned as a wind chime. It's decorated with a winged lion-phallus whose head and tail are phalli, and its own phallus is oversized, with a single bell hanging off the end. These chimes were hung up in the garden and believed to possess magical apotropaic properties, providing protection against the evil eye and restless ghosts (the sounds of bells were thought to drive away spirits), bringing luck to the household.
Roman, 1st century CE. No findspot noted, but many of these tintinnabula were found in the Pompeii-Vesuvian area.

Well, my evil eye is very advanced. Does that make me a teacher?
Not that I would ever want to be one. Just a thought. I do have the glasses...
I hate glasses though. I hate wearing them. Yuck.

Coyote (Canis latrans) evil eye. This Coyote stopped on the top of a ridge, skylined, and looked back at us in our car on the road in Lamar Valley of Yellowstone. This Coyote is in prime winter coat. It is almost as if it is winking at me!
Em breve posto uma imagem melhor, terminamos a noite pra variar, mais a fotografia ja da uma noção do ambiente. Better photo coming soon.
Another flamingo at the Vivarium (zoo) in Darmstadt, Germany. This one was really giving me the eye to say "can't you see I'm trying to sleep?".
Please view in full size for the best effect.
This is Roland. Apparently, this cat is really evil and loves french fries. He is also amazingly repulsive.
with all these evil eyes, which is a good luck and defense for bad luck.

This is Stripe giving me the evil eye. She is one of our feral cats that 's never become friendly, and that's her son, Mini Milo (He looks just like our Milo, his father). They were just coming out of the woods, where they live, to get their breakfast. She wasn't too happy to find me standing in the way with a camera!
Usually I can't get close to Stripe at all, and if I do, she'll flatten her ears and growl like a mountain lion. So I guess she actually looks kind of friendly in this shot, considering how she normally reacts to me.
(They're little Siam's mother and brother. )
Augur Buzzard (Buteo augur) giving me the evil eye. Image taken in the Ngorongoro Crater of Tanzania.
Alright so I have a confession to make. I have been fooling you all. Now that it's day 229 i think it's time that I tell you...
I have no real pupils. I wear special lenses to make it look like I do though. That's why they look all weird and large sometimes.
...
I'm kidding kids. No worries. :D They can just go from very big to very tiny in 0.3 seconds. I do however have another, real confession. Remember my latest haircut? Well... I did go to the hair dresser. I did get my hair cut. It is that short. ... But not everywhere. There are some longer pieces of hair still intact, I just hid them in a little tail. I wanted to see the reactions, and they turned out better than expected! :D Only spooked a few people (hihi, gotcha!:p) and the people that know me best didn't fall for it for one second. Damn friends know me too well. :p But with all the positive responses I got, I might have to consider actually getting it cut like that. ;)
Anyways. Glad to have that off my chest. Pfiew. Now I can breathe again.
So, do you prefer this shot in color or in black and white?
