One of my fave #DogBreeds is the #GreatPyrenees. They're amazing #GuardianDogs on farms! My friend, Morgan & her husband Ron, have 5 of them on their family farm in Mill Bay.
#ThrowbackThursday to my visit to their farm in 2021. Morgan & I have been friends for decades.

The purple #seastar aka #OchreSeastar - Pisaster ochraceus - is one of the most commonly found #starfish along the coasts of #BritishColumbia. You can see they have thousands of tiny feet on their legs to help them move around.
The purple sea star is considered a #KeystoneSpecies & an essential indicator of #OceanHealth.
