My little sister shot these from my dads driveway yesterday between about 2:00 and 9:00 PM.

Support your volunteer fire departments. Most of the guys working wildfires are volunteers . . .

Yes, I'm glad they were being watched over. On this evenings news they showed pictures of homes that had been burned by wind driven fires. When I was younger and not so slow and creaky I had some adrenaline filled moments fighting forest fires. When faced with the power of these kinds of events I'm reminded of just how puny and powerless we humans really are!

Yep, mother nature sure has her way of showing us really how small and insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things.
Good that all is well.
