Where I live in Colorado, we are about a thousand miles downwind from the fires currently burning in California. Yesterday our sky was clouded all day with a smokey haze from the fires.
Sunrise
Sunset
It was a pungent reminder of those who are so much more directly effected by those horrible fires.
We had a little wind today so it is much clearer, but there is still a haze.
Thanks to Fred Wilson, Dad to my daughter-in-law, Leah, and Papa to Wil and Anna for the beautiful sunrise picture and the title for this post.
And lots of hope that the fires will be contained soon.
Well there is a positive! The fires make for pretty sunsets!
ReplyDeleteIt really brings the size of the fires home when I see that you are effected so far away. I love 30 miles from the fires but I can actually SEE the flames across the mountain ridges. And the smoke-- Oy. It's been more than a week since we've seen blue skies. Now they are saying it was arson. That makes me crazy!
