wildfires

I thought about collecting Hurricane Irene, but those have usually been post series for every blogger who's been affected. It would be an incredibly long list. Instead, I'll virtually collect another natural occurrence: wildfire. I suspect I'll be adding to this. A little trivia about me - I left a "dream" job after one month, because I realized no job is ever worth dying in a wildfire. They are hella scary!

orchids

I can't believe I haven't collected these before now. Again, these are only the ones I happened to come across from reading blogs:

I actually have a couple blog posts that I remember reading, but I can't seem to find them now.
