Coo-coo for Carrion Flowers
Noticed that flies act totally mesmerized and/or doped up as they hang out on/in the carrion flowers. It's really weird to watch them. We must have looked mesmerized and/or doped up ourselves as we stared.

Sad for Deukmejian
As anyone who visits my blog knows, Deukmejian Wilderness Park is one of my favorite places in the whole world. BP and I take our dog there at least once a week, and I take hundreds and hundreds of pictures there.
Since the Station Fire chewed up our area, the public hasn't been allowed in the park, but pictures were posted at the City of Glendale website: http://www.ci.glendale.ca.us/parks/deukmejian_wilderness_park.asp. Above is the best before-and-after I could put together. On the left is my picture from three to four weeks ago. On the right, a picture I've borrowed from the Glendale site. (Please do follow the link to see more of the City's post-blaze pictures.) Note the boulder and large California Live Oak in both pictures above.
Next, an assortment of my pictures in Deukmejian throughout the seasons.
This post is intended as my own sort of prayer for the people, homes, flora and fauna threatened, harmed, or lost in the fire.
