Ember the Platypus

Ember the Platypus 

A darling of a girl, but first some local weather news.

Here on the West coast, some VERY chilly weather has come down from the c-c-cold North. Check out the Weather/погода gadget at the top right side of the blog for yourselves! Here are some local photos, showing the beauty of the day.

And it's supposed to get colder over the next few days. The shelters around town are trying to add more beds, in order to get as many people off the streets as possible. These shelters and other like-minded charities, are welcoming any and all donations of blankets, socks and winter clothing.

So how about if we just continue on with a couple of coool (heh heh)  videos from the Land Down Under **PSST **  Australia

I didn't realize how adorable Platypuses were, until I stumbled across this video over at  Neatorama

Ember is the main star, with her senior keeper Ian Elton, coming in as a notable supporting second. 

What a lovable little thing! She's two years old and has a twin brother

Such a sweetie that I need to post another platypus video, here below. 

This little fellow, somehow got stuck in the engine compartment of the Aussie's ride, as he crossed through the water, as depicted in the video.

 Once again, in the capable hands of ( Sir) Ian Elton  (actually he's not a Sir, but with a name like that he should be!) .....everything! worked out for the innocent critter.
