Today has been my hardest day ever. We had to say goodbye to our lovely dog, Whoopie.
Over the weekend, we thought she might feel better, but then on Sunday evening, her health deteriorated so badly that we asked the vet to come to our home and relieve her. We are thankful that we could accompany her until the end.
I thank you for all the favorites and boosts that you gave to her photos.
A fluffy sandhill crane chick with a soft, golden-brown down, standing about a foot tall. Its long, slender legs and beak are already well-defined, hinting at the graceful adult it will become, eventually reaching a height of up to four feet. The chick's adorable, curious demeanor and tiny size make it irresistibly cute.
🇺🇦🐕🦺 Meet Jorna, a German shepherd dog who serves with the border guards in Odesa region.
She is a mine detection specialist. The heroic sheepdog was also on the front line, and dozens of times warned our military against falling into occupiers' mine ambushes. Twice more, she found shells from the Second World War in Podil district of Odesa region. #ukrainian#ukraine#UkraineWar#dog#dogs#dogsofmastodon#photo#photography
I'm off to Brisbane to see the mighty Cirith Ungol, live. I'll be riding the Honda CRF300 Rally down so I can explore a bit while I'm there. Should be awesome!
Wivenhoe Dam QLD is pretty cool! I think it's the biggest dam I've visited so far. There's a great lookout spot where you can sit down and enjoy the view.
Mount Glorious and Mount Nebo, north of Ipswich QLD, are awesome.
It was foggy and drizzling just a little, so I had to take it slow. Especially as there are leaves and moss on the road. But there was very little traffic on this very scenic ride.
Near the top of Mount Glorious was a motorcyclist cafe, and it was completely packed. Lots of classic bikes, and chromatic pools of oily rainwater collecting beneath them. 🤣
