Westminster, Time to Start 'Owling'

No, I didn't mean to type "bowling." Send Patch your best "owling" photos.

Let's go Westminster, time to get in your best owl position. You shouldn't be surprised to hear that like planking (taking a picture while lying face down in a weird location), "owling" is a hot trend that is racking up lots of views on Facebook

According to The Washington Post, "owling" is the act of taking a picture while crouching in an owl-like posture. Of course it goes without saying that this picture should be taken in an offbeat location.

Once you've completed your mission, send the photo to Westminster Patch. Then sit back and become wildly popular and famous.

What are you waiting for? Find your perch and start snapping those photos! I mean c'mon, we have to do something good here, we are the home of the Westminster Owls, after all. My guess is we can out-owl any other Patch in the area.

By the way, we want creativity, but please act responsibly. A few plank pranksters have hurt themselves, and we don't want that.
