Update on the South California Wildfires

Hi,

Well, this post is going to be short on words... In just a bit, I'll let a few images do the real talking.

But first, understand that you can act to alleviate some of the suffering on the west coast... Learn more here. (Note how the numbers have changed and how the tragedy has grown.)

The following photos are from our contributor Kathryn, a photographer and South California resident. The fires forced her evacuation and she just returned on the 27th. Thankfully, air drops and back fires saved her home... Still...

There's a lot of work to be done on all fronts...

See you by the feeders,

Thanks for posting these initial photos, Alan. Update: still without electricity, fire debris and smokey smell remain, stark burned out areas all around (including wildlife habitats) are heartbreaking to see.
