Kyiv Independent journalist is in Canada for some events but I only found out after the fact... would've been interesting to hear firsthand and maybe ask some question (I don't know what). 😔

My favourite animal! 🥰

Today is World Okapi Day! Also known as the forest giraffe or zebra giraffe, don’t let the stripes fool you that it’s zebra-like. The okapi is closely related to giraffes and endemic to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is fully protected by law but endangered primarily due to habitat loss.

Newish neighbours were a big help today during car difficulties! Started down the road and realized the car wouldn't accelerate. Turned in their driveway and tried to get home but forward totally quit. Reverse worked a bit longer, then quit too, leaving me stranded at the end of their driveway.

The husband saw me and came to check on me, letting me know his wife was heading to town. I was talking to her when he came back and decided to lend me their new vehicle (the likes of which I'm sure I will never own) to use instead! 🤯

Somehow we’ve almost made it to October! I’m going to be doing the #Spacetober challenge again, hosted by @spacetober_challenge on IG. If you want to share space science and astronomy #sciart, join in or follow along! 🎢🔭🧪

One of my favourite moments from Taronga Zoo Sydney: This beautiful Andean Condor. She was on the aviary floor when I arrived, but on seeing me she flew up to a perch and started preening right in front of me. All the other park visitors just walked past, but I was smitten. #birds

Whoever came up with the idea to put eyes at the end of this decorative grass/garden feature at the park deserves a raise. More whimsy, please.

Quest for secret house continues as my father bought a ladle to heat oil over the stove in because I won't let him use my measuring cups to do it in. Not sure we ever convinced him you don't put out oil fires with water either... 🤦🏻‍♀️ He's simply determined that's the best way to do it. 🤷‍♀️

This was my last proper nightscape from way back in July 2024, I did do a half interested one in October with comet A3 tsuchinshan-atlas but only in the back paddock as a single shot opposed to stacked

Worried about my poor Nermal. She seems to be breathing a bit heavily and moving back and forth slightly. Google was doom and gloom. As a 6 yo Orpington, I suppose she's not young anymore, and quite a large bird. Didn't have as many stories as usual today either. :/ Seemed okay on Saturday.

I got a Gopro just before my last summer trip to Churchill. I'm still figuring it out, but I did manage to capture some footage of these juvenile belugas trailing behind our zodiac the other day. They're very curious and like the bubbles from the idling (and prop-guard protected) motor.

The Blue Jays have finished their summer moult and their feathers are all fresh and gorgeous! This Blue Jay decided to fly down to the creek for a drink and made sure we got a really good look at all those blues on its back and tail! #Birds 🪶

Yes, hello, real estate person? Yes, we bought an open concept house in Canada last year for 200k. No one bothered to insulate the roof area at all, the entire top is just the shingles and a layer of boards. It's pretty cold in winter and expensive to heat! We're hoping to sell it for 330k plz?

I think the Black-billed Magpies have gotten sick of hearing me gush over how gorgeous the Common Grackles are. This Junior Magpie flew in and posed on this branch as if to say “check this iridescence out”🤣 #Birds 🪶

Super bummed Jackie the eagle from Big Bear Valley didn't make it. 😕 I guess it was a longshot but I was really pulling for her. Glad they were able to save that land, but my middle of the night mind is pretty sad she won't get to enjoy the protection.

I don't mean to complain here all the time but I was really looking forward to this weekend and all I was going to do and it fell through, and a relative was a pain, and honestly I don't know why I bother taking time off work! 🙄 But I started watching the first season of Silo and that's been good!

A few additional photos of the absolutely stunning male scissor-tailed flycatcher in flight. I could watch these elegant #birds dance in the sky forever and never tire of it.

What my father said while I was finishing a class: "we'll need you soon." What he should have said: " ________ fell out of his wheelchair and is lying on the driveway in the baking sun and I can't get him up!" (several minutes before he actually did). 😠

Un Bébé Mésange😍 J’ai attendu de loint pour voir si il y avais ses parents mais personnes ne s’occupe de lui et il arrive pas à voler. J’ai pas réussi à avoir une association pour me dire ce que je peux faire donc si il y a un ou une spécialiste qui peux m’aider ici ça serait top 😁.

Overseas friends: as someone from a similar climate who worked from home in a second story apartment with no AC during our 109F heatwave. Put your feet in a bucket of ice water. Only thing that made it bearable.
