More goats. Not the fat and happy, valley-floor-living
Napa goats I photographed this past April. No, these poor goats had the misfortune to find themselves in the midst of one of the most destructive wildfires in the history of California. I copied this photograph from the Facebook page of one of my co-workers, the Balancing Queen (BQ), who unfortunately lost her home and all of her possessions, and most likely her cats, in the Valley Fire which is currently burning to the north of here in Lake County. And tragically, the BQ is not alone in her predicament, at last count some 600 homes have been destroyed.
Wineries and vineyards have been lost. Many vineyards, although not directly affected by the fire, remain unpicked as access to them is restricted. Regretfully, wildfires, earthquakes and drought are all apart of life in California. The goats survived.
