It’s smoky out there (though nothing near as bad as the air quality closer to the wildfires in other parts of BC and the Northwest Territories) so I’m staying inside making a second blog post for the day.

These are photos taken this morning as the red, smoky sun rose over East Vancouver. In capturing these moments I was imagining a message from the crows.

Yet another message to wake up — to a new day; to the undeniable reality of climate change; to the need to make changes now.

That’s already too many words from me, so here are the crows …

I sometimes feel a bit immobilized by hopelessness, but the crows are not impressed by my ennui.

Get off your butt, say the crows, so here are a few ideas for action (mostly for myself.)

• Ten tips from David Suzuki Foundation on fighting climate change
• Donate to charities helping the environment
• Put a water bowl out to help your local birds and wildlife (Bongo specifically told me to add that one)
• Donate to the Red Cross BC Fires Appeal
• Write a letter to a politician about the need to make changes now, not later (I’m going to aim for one letter a week.)
