I captured the Milky Way from Yanliao Port in Hualien, Taiwan. I wanted to capture it vertically. My 15mm wide-angle lens framed it nicely. High-resolution: app.astrobin.com/i/ypaqdp #astrophotography #astronomy #naturephotography #nature #longexposure #milkyway #eastcoastkin #photography

Break out your Tyrolean! It's #Oktoberfest time. #Prost Kitchener Keg Tapping today. I'll stick to water but still enjoy the fun.

I'm not going to get overly excited about Skinner's performances (last night he robbed the Avs). Jets need to be putting more pucks on net than they have been and improve their face offs. Still love a win. #gojetsgo

#NHLJets off to a solid start. Early days yet. Like the speed with the added youth. Like what the goalies have shown. Love Perfetti on the top line. Kid has talent.

Jets power play looks significantly better than last year. Hoping Perfetti shines on that top line.

#acatnamedbuttercup curled up by the window. She really is the Queen. She pretty much rules all of us. This was after she heard kids outside through the open window and jogged over growling. #caturday #somuchfluff

I've been staying away from alcohol mostly. I'm a bit disappointed with myself for having more than one drink. It's a week shy of 2 years since the kiddos Dad passed. So I had a weak moment.

Well, I can't play like I used to. Might be time to retire the cue, and leave it in the past.

Sometimes you don't look your best when you're going through a molt, like this Chestnut-sided Warbler. #birds #birding #Algoma
A very shambolic looking chestnut-sided warbler perched in a small shrub, looking to the right and looking like it is about to fly.

I love waking up to cold floors and climbing under blankets on the couch to sip coffee. It heals my soul. Happy Friday everyone!

I’m still going to want the Jays to win every day through the season’s end. But I also think the players aren’t the only ones who might need a rest this fall. Feels like the fan base could also use the rest and reset.

I'm actually pretty happy these days. Yes the world is a mess. Yes the Jays are a mess. Yes the Jets are a mess. All that aside, I'm pretty good. I feel balanced, calmer and stronger. No alcohol, no self medicating. Just healing, birds and photos.

A Black-throated Blue Warbler in my yard (!!!) eating berries from the Devil’s Walkingstick tree For the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #BirdsWithBerries #birds 🌿
A dark blue bird with white belly and black throat stands in a horizontal branch holding a dark blue berry in its beak. With lots of blurry green leaves in the background.

My kid wanted one of the glass Starbucks/Snoopy cups. We were up at 4:30 and got one at our second stop. Beautiful start to the day.

Could only do a half batch thanks to arthritis so hopefully the rest tomorrow. Salsa (steamy) is on the go.

@acatnamedbuttercup.bsky.social is a little terrifying when it comes to her hunting abilities. The toy is nearly as big as she is under all that fur. Hasn't slowed her down a bit.

Would US troops follow orders to invade or attack Canada? Yes they would, without hesitation, just how they've followed every other dumbass order from war criminal Pete Hegseth.

Stumbled across a a bunch of juvenile #WildTurkey yesterday. Let's be real...I love these guys...they remind me of characters from The Dark Crystal. (Yes I'm old)

Sometimes a little indulgence is the way to go. That's me this morning. All by myself at home soaking in the quiet vibes.

Birds aren't always cooperative or readily available. I'm trying to branch out and learn more about insects. I believe this is an #AutumnMeadowhawk (correct me if I'm wrong please) #ontarioinsects #ontarionature #bugs

Nothing quite so satisfying as scratching that itch. Spent about 30 minutes with a pair of #DoubleCrestedCormorant yesterday. Just sat and watched them in between rain showers.

Common #burdock is invasive in Ontario. Native to Eurasia, it chokes out local native species. #ontarionature #invasivespecies

Mark Carney was absolutely right. Most Canadians would not tolerate the U. S. Having veto power over our trade deals. It's on and we can make a difference every time we put Yankee made back on the shelf.

Canadian friends If the provinces return U.S. alcohol to the shelves, will you purchase it? I don't drink anymore... but I almost never drank U.S. produced alcohol anyway. My choices were local or from overseas. #alcohol #tradewar

Settled in with the original intention to watch some of the suggested MCU content before Avengers Doomsday. Instead I opted to rewatch Agatha all Along. It's just so much fun.

Got my dehydrator going. Threw in some ginger. Should have more than enough I can turn some into powder and leave some larger bits for other things like simmer pots and my mini apothecary.

Starting to feel pretty excited while I wait for surgeon to book me in and get confirmation the procedure is covered. She was quite confident it would be. It's been a long road to get here. -55 lbs and ready have my chest match the rest. 😊
