Hi guys, the art challenge ends today, so if no one has anything to hand in I could extend it, if you want. :) :) Let me know!

[Amanda Artist Cat]

I'll hand mine in after class today!! How do we post the pictures??

[Samantha]

Um, there's a photos page on the group homepage. I haven't actually tried it, but I assume you can post pictures there. I'll post mine tomorrow.

[Amanda Artist Cat]

Excellent 😊 !

Yes, they are terrifying. I have a link on my page from the one we had to run from.

[Amanda Artist Cat]

Oh my goodness, I just watched it and it is more than terrifying!!! It looked like something out of a fantasy movie 😱! The poor forest 😢...

Thanks for watching it. I watched it too and cried. I still have PTSD from that. They have never caught the arsonist who started it. Imagine all the hummingbirds, deer, bears and mountain lions that died. Our magpies seemed to have flown off somewhere and then came back.

[Amanda Artist Cat]

Oh no... I'm so sad to hear that 😔.

You're welcome!! I hope you enjoy being here. Oh no, fires are terrible. Is everyone in your area ok?

[~☆~Autumn]

The fires are not here in this state but the smoke is blowing in! It makes it hard to breath. A wind last night cleared most of it. Thanks, hope so too.

I understand. We had really bad fires in Australia last year, and the start of this year, and the smoke was so terrible it was hard to breathe outside. So much of our wildlife and bushland was lost or injured.
