The sun sets with brilliant colors only seen through smoke and ash
Another fire broke out behind us...on the Uncompahgre Plateau….closer to the Nucla, Colorado side.
The fat lovely moon rises pink in the evening sky
Then as the night darkens and the air starts to crisp the moon breaks clear of the low lying smoke and ash
It breaks forth in a clear and marvelous wonder, casting moon shadows on the land… and filling the earth with its marvelous glow.
Terry and I sat outside on the swing, as the leaves made shadows as we slowly rocked to and fro. (Boomer besides us and Mindy on Terry’s lap)
From my world to your heart,

Beautiful pictures Linda, but I sure would like to hear that all your fires have gone out! Hoping that day won’t be too far off. Your last few sentences are lovely and so peaceful. May peace dwell with you and your sweet family always!

The moon has been extra beautiful this month even though ours has been filtered through smoky skies. The sun was bright red too in the mornings. It is so peaceful feeling though.

Are these fires started by lightning? I suppose there are more ways to start a fire than one could count. Many fires here are started by people, but there are a whole lot of people here.

Lightning…all of them. We are so dry just rubbing to sticks together will start a fire.
