  1. Am I the only only that thinks the left hand Award looks like a squirrel? Really it does. And it’s morning so I’m not even sleep deprived this morning, so I’m not seeing things… I think.

    Now listening to Ian McDonald’s Hopeland. I think it’s his first foray into the time travel genre.

  2. Cora Buhlert says It does kind of look like a squirrel. That said, both awards are very pretty.

    Yes they’re some of the prettiest Awards that I’ve seen, squirrel resemblance or not. Most Awards aren’t really that cute, are they?
