Australia is in the midst of a national disaster. While we have been complaining about the snow and cold around here, the Australians have just spent the past few weeks enduring temperatures in the 110-120°F range. Then, last weekend came the horror of the wildfires that erupted causing such a terrible loss of both life and property.
I was going to post another picture, but I decided on the one above was the best. It is an Associated Press picture taken by Mark Pardew of CFA firefighter David Tree giving water to a koala who was injured by the fire. (burned paws, apparently) Fortunately, this one story has had a happy ending, but many others have not. That is the reason I am posting the links below - they are for the Australian Red Cross and the Salvation Army of Australia.

Apparently Melbourne's Herald Sun newspaper is selling photographs of the encounter, with proceeds going to volunteer firefighting organisations. Glad they're doing it for a good cause!
