Superman director is making superhero movies more animal-friendly—and we’re here for it. The new movie features moments we love, from heroic animal rescues to scenes where families make sure to take their pets with them during evacuations. There’s even a moment where Superman says he “doesn’t want his parents’ cows killed.”

Plus Krypto the Superdog was modeled after his own rescue pup, Ozu.

Now that’s the kind of hero we love to see. 🐾

OUR CHURCH O’ THE ISLAND post today actually comes from two evenings ago when I ran out from the cabin to catch this sunset. In 45 seconds the glorious light and colors diminished. Sometimes we have only a few moments to notice how beautiful the world is. To notice beauty at all. This was not a ‘forest fire’ sunset, but a clear one, some of the Canadian smoke returning 24 hours later. All dependent on the wind direction, of course. But beauty depends simply on our ability to see it. To hear it. To appreciate it. The calling of loons adds immeasurably to a sunset. As does a place that you love. Wherever you find beauty, or a scene to love, we wish you Good Sabbath.

They eat my flowers and turn up my rocks for bugs. I'm okay with that. I also have tons of blackberry bushes to share. They sure loved the Cicada's this year! I enjoy these bears. They've been coming around for years. They send their cubs up the tree and come to take a nap on my deck...their safe place. It's been an experience of a lifetime. They are the most timid animals in the forest. (Nothing like a grizzly!!!)
