Antilocapra americana (pronghorn) are not related to antelope but fill a similar ecological niche in North America due to parallel evolution. Pronghorns are related to giraffe and okapi, however. Pronghorns are the fastest North American land animal able to run at speeds up to 89kph (55mph).

Today, I had the first 2024 sightings of:

1)  Dusky Thorn - like a crisp autumn leaf

2) Delicate - a creamy migrant moth from #Europe

3) Cypress Pug (a little tatty)

4) Portland Ribbon Wave

29 August 2024

August went fast didn't it, soon I will have completed yet another trip around the sun. To get around the sun every year we are real daredevils and race around at 67,100 mph (107,986 kph).  Around and around, we go where we stop nobody knows, though I read somewhere the earth only has about a billion years left, before that starts and maybe 4-5 billion years before the moon abandons us and the sun explodes. Humankind ... well ... probably not that long. But we have a few days until then, let's make the best of it.
