Daughter popped over for dinner the other night and found her older brother's BJ Birdy puppet that we bought at the Skydome on our way to a game in '93. So we're channelling some 1993 Game 6 #BlueJays energy tonight. #GoJays #WantItAll #WorldSeries2025

Walking on Virginia River Trail and came upon what Google Lens says is a Morning Cloak Butterfly caterpillar. Never noticed one here before but I'm guessing it's common here in #Newfoundland ? #insectsky #bugsky
