Windy with Fire

The wind has been relentless.

Thats dirt in the sky, you have to look at the white of the truck, to the brown of the sky, and the blue of the sky at the top of the pic. Its kinda hard to see, but believe me, you could see it, smell it, taste it, and breathe it.
 yuck  yuck yuck
Verdell even wanted in the house.
It was so windy,
 he didn't care about the horse.
                         (Verdell has developed an obsession for the horses in the back yard which borders the stalls)

The wind slowed and stopped blowing this afternoon
finally
and it made me stop and listen to the
silence.
No wind.
WoW.
Its quiet.
It didn't last long.
It starts again.
There have been fires all over the place.
I had to drive about an extra hour to get home because of highway closings due to fires.
Burnt pasture

The dirt and ash in the sky have made for some great sun pictures.



Clouds and smoke at sunset.

It has been 9 months since it has rained.
Lord, lord, lord !
Come on!
Please?

  1. Incredible pictures.

    We had a fire in Wetmore last week that burned 550 acres I think they said.

    But I think we are near the end of the wind here. We've finally gotten some snow and rain and the wind has mellowed out.

    Hope you get some rain soon and the wind mellows out there.
