I’ve decided it’s time to start a new project. On Tuesday, September 8, 2020 my little town of Talent, Oregon and the neighboring town of Phoenix were devastated by wildfire. By some miracle my neighborhood and home came through without a scratch. It is going to be a long time, though before life returns to normal as most of the neighborhoods near me were at least partially destroyed as were many other neighborhoods, and businesses in the community.
I’m starting this out as a 100 days project because I want to give myself an out but I hope I have the stamina to turn it into a 365 days project to document the stories of hope and positive rebuilding. I can’t promise all the pictures will be beautiful as I also want to show what it is we are recovering from.
This first image was taken on September 6 and was still on my camera when I downloaded some flower pictures I took around my Mom’s house where I am currently sheltering during evacuation. Consider it the before picture. I hope my flowers will still be there when I get home but they aren’t getting any water so that may be too much to hope for. Still it is a small loss compared to what others are suffering right now
