The heat has come back, just to remind us that the world is warming up, I suppose. (The sunrise below doesn’t have much to do with the world on fire, but it was a striking view I saw on my Saturday morning walk, during which the birds didn’t really cooperate. The bird shots are from Sunday morning.)
