Smoke spreads its grey self all across the hills, dales, and valleys of our area.
Changing the light into strange colors; unusual and weird. Colors that could make the hair stand up on your neck if you thought about it much.
The smoke disturbs the sunset, albeit in a rather pretty way
Chaos
Death’s Kingdom for those in the fire’s deadly path
Smoke filling the skies spitefully
The sun, no longer bright and overwhelming,
Edged and shrouded in smoke…
Available to be seen by the naked eye.
The west so needs rain. Please pray for rain…the fires are terrible here in the west…
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

I cry for all the wildlife lost. How horrible for them. All the places I loved in California are now charred rubble. The beautiful timbered mountains and redwoods. Stay safe, Linda.

Prayers for rain and for the fires to stop and for the Firefighters and all the animals that are displaced and for all who have to live in the smokey air. Sure hope we don’t get the smoke here as Far Guy would have to stay inside all the time:(

as you prob’ly noted on “my fire post” — i went over (& up) to Divide Road (off Hwy 141) to the Uncompahgre, and was AMAZED that Unaweep Canyon was smoke-filled. (and, again, to repeat myself) checked on-line forest-fire sites ’cause i thought certainly U Can was affected by smoke from “somewhere else” — but, NO (!) — so i presume the P.G. fire is/was causing all your pollution? spoke with my bro-in-law in DENVER earlier today and he sez “it’s bad” there. (but Denver is also affected by Ft. Collins, Cameron, Grizzly, etc.)
