If you are in the affected California fires area, excellent advice! Keep your pets in to ensure their safety from wildlife fleeing the fires! Keep buckets of water out for them. Stay safe, my friends.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million. That is a lie. The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

Smoke inhalation — even for seconds - can impair consciousness. To anyone in the immediate vicinity of this unprecedented fire in the nations most populous county, urgently heed the evacuation orders NOW. Smoke is as dangerous as the flames behind them.

🚨🚨🚨🚒🚒🚒 People are getting injured in this fire in Palisades. These are no joke! Evacuate! Firefighters are struggling to man the fires and have to stop to rescue. If they tell you to evacuate do and leave keys in cars if you leave them.

Nothing makes me happier than to see research showing that Bees 🐝 are making a resurgence based on people making concentrated effort to provide them with food and shelter. Our entire food chain depends on their survival,so plant as many insect friendly flowers as you can even in pots! #photography
