Welcome to Big Owl's Big Picture Page!

"Big Owl" is Dr. Alan R. Bettler,
Professor Emeritus of French at Eastern Kentucky University,
and he used to have a web page on the EKU web site,
but since Big Owl has recently retired, he decided to eliminate that one.
So this is now Big Owl's only web page.
Big Owl recently acquired a digital camera and a photo printer,
and, not surprisingly, he has been busy taking pictures.
Mostly he takes picture of Azrael, the cat.
But sometimes he takes pictures of Kathie, Bill, Christopher, and Annie.
And sometimes he takes pictures of other people, too.
None of these people really like to have their picture taken.
The cat doesn't really care.
But Big Owl has put a bunch of pictures here for everyone to see,
even if they didn't want to be here.

You can look at them, too, of course!
They're right here on this page,
just farther down...
