Heartbreak In Paradise California

No one was injured in the making of this composite. It's just my interpretation of the tragedy and sadness going on in Butte County. So many survived and too many died. Many animals have been rescued and are awaiting the arrivals of their owners. Some are at UCDavis veterinary hospital. I can't look at the pictures. They make me cry.

Joy...it has all been so sad. All the destruction, loss and 27,000 homeless. Never has so many homes been lost...almost 12,000. Never has so many lives been lost...up to 79 so far. I cannot fathom Paradise is gone. And the poor animals...I can’t look at the pictures either. Tearful. Fav.

I somehow missed out on this wonderful composite. It is magnificent, although the situation was horrific for so many. Fav

Joy, this touches me at the core...you put into a photo what words cannot say. While I was "away and removed",I was still very much here, and in disbelief...
