Today I wasn’t sure what I was going to paint when I started, but my mind must have been thinking of the wildfires in Oregon. Last summer our sky was hazy and you could smell the smoke and fumes from the Canadian wildfires. They were quite a ways away, so what we experienced was nothing compared to the people living closer. While we are certainly not completely immune to the changing weather, I feel fortunate that Michigan seems to have it mild compared to the rest of the world.

I can’t understand how some people can deny the impact human activities are having on the earth. Mother Nature has her ways of resetting herself. If we are not proactive in fixing our mess, I’m afraid of how she will.

How have you been experiencing the changing climate in your area?
