SMOKE SMOKE that SKY....

Smoke, smoke that….. sky… 

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words.

So these should be worth 11 thousand, right?  

this is an early morning (about 5:30am) picture of the sun coming up thru the smoke

Those of you who follow my blog, know that normally there is mountains thru there. Lots
of mountains...  skiing mountains, and low mountains.

where oh, where have my mountains gone?  In between the red building and the blue building on the right ... there is a building behind there..   look below and you will see it..

 this is a day and half later.... see below, the white building between the red and blue buildings?

 these heroes have been flying in and out from the lake  along with two others. picking up water from the lake that is just to the south of us.. about 1/2 mile... taking it to the fire that is 25 miles east of us.

this is the sunset from last night...... you can see the foothills.. and make out the ridge of the lower mountain

 but even with these .... it is nothing compared to Washington state which is where we are getting a lot of our smoke as well..   as well as some coming down from Canada....  and then on the news you have seen California.. which looks like 1/8 of their coastal area is on fire up and down the whole coast...    While the East Coast is flooding...  weird weather...
