San Francisco-based artist Laurel Roth builds these Peacock sculptures using many synthetic, shiny, and recycled beauty products that she dubs "human mating plumage." Fake fingernails, barrettes, nail polish, false eyelashes, and jewelry are used, according to Roth, "to represent the choices involved in biological processes that are unique to humankind."

Yikes! Stay safe and hope that rain will come for you soon.

It's strange really, but after living here for a few years we take the wildfires for granted. No on really talks about them, only to complain about the smoke in the air and the difficulty breathing. Hasn't stopped tourism either, lots of visitors in the Okanagan. They don't flinch at traffic being down to one lane on highways. The
fires are that close to the highways, the traffic is squeezed to one lane. I guess they are dedicated to getting here no matter what (and dedicated to over 40 wineries just in and around Kelowna). They love those wine tours.:smile:

...well, the fermented grape would make things a little less dire I guess.....

Alexandra M - the pictures are amazing and frightening!! I was just saying this weekend, that it seems like every time there are massive fires in the West, the East Coast is getting poured upon. We need to figure out a way to move that excess water somewhere it could be put to use. If I can figure that out, not only would the fires be easy to control, but I'd probably be stinkin' rich! ;) Good vibes your way and safety prayers for the firefighters!
