Yesterday we found this poor little bluejay dazed and injured, probably because of a cat.
Hope for Wildlife was quick to respond and I’m hopeful this little guy will make a full recovery.

Send Hope For Wildlife some love. They’re incredible!

Gerard Parkes had two iconic roles as a character named Doc.
In the 1980s, he was Doc on Fraggle Rock.
A decade later he was Doc in The Boondock Saints.
But his career is so much more than that, and he remains a beloved actor to this day.
This is his story.

A man with gray hair and glasses, wearing a white shirt and brown vest, sits at a workbench with a puppet dog with a shaggy gray coat and an open mouth. The dog is positioned next to a yellow bowl labeled "SPROCKET" filled with dark food, in a workshop setting with tools, a lamp, and various objects in the background.

In #JapaneseFolklore there's a #yokai known as yama uba, often translated as 'mountain witch.' They're known to appear as kind old ladies offering a place to stay but then late at night they transform into monstrous hags & eat their guests alive.

This painting just sold and is off to its forever home in Ontario! 💕

I promised the buyer that if she stares at it long enough, she will absolutely hear the ocean.

I have letter to the editor this week in our local paper.
Our community is, once again, facing a developer who wants to turn public, protected coastal land into a golf course. We've been here before. This time, it's shadier. And God knows it was shady last time. www.invernessoran.ca/top-story/co...
